Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp harissa paste, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to the bowl, turning to coat thoroughly with the harissa mixture. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: On a large rimmed sheet pan, spread 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed chickpeas in an even layer. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the chickpeas.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken skin is crispy and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached, and the chickpeas are slightly browned.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
