Instructions: How to Cook Harissa Honey Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the harissa paste, honey, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Harissa Honey Chicken!
