Ingredients

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 lb)
Kosher salt
10 large garlic cloves (minced)
½ red onion (sliced)
1 ½ tsp coriander
1 ½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika (or 1 tsp sweet paprika)
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp cayenne (or more to your liking)
5 to 6 tbsp homemade harissa paste
Juice 1 lemon
Generous drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

Pat the chicken dry and season with kosher salt on both sides.
Place the chicken in a bowl and add garlic, onions, spices, and harissa paste. Add lemon juice and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Heat an outdoor grill or an indoor griddle to medium-high heat (between 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit) and be sure to lightly oil the grates. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes or so on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked (using an instant read thermometer chicken's internal temperature should register 165 degrees F at the thickest part).
