Instructions: How to Cook Honey Harissa Chicken
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, harissa paste, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
