Cinnamon Roasted Chicken With Harissa Sauce Recipes

CINNAMON-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HARISSA SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Place chicken breasts and thighs in 2-gallon resealable plastic bag. Pour oil mixture over; seal bag. Turn bag to coat chicken with marinade. Chill overnight.
• Preheat oven to 475°F. Transfer chicken to rimmed baking sheet, shaking off marinade. Sprinkle chicken all over with flour. Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add chicken to skillet. Cook until golden, adding more oil as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Return chicken to baking sheet, skin side up. Roast until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve with Harissa Sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the chicken breasts dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to the prepared sheet.
• Whisk together the honey, harissa, vinegar and garlic in a small skillet. Whisking constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to whisk until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter.
• Spoon half the glaze over the chicken and bake until beginning to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush on the remaining glaze. Return to the oven and bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes more.
