Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 6 bone-in chicken thighs with 3 tbsp harissa paste, 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the seasoned chicken thighs on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed chickpeas and 2 cups cherry tomatoes around the chicken, drizzling everything with an additional 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is crisp and internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the chickpeas are golden and tomatoes blistered.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
