Harrisa african chicken on skewers Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Harissa African Chicken on Skewers is a flavorful and spicy dish inspired by North African cuisine. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of harissa paste, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, which gives it a deliciously tangy and smoky flavor. The skewers are then grilled to perfection, resulting in juicy and tender chicken with a slightly charred exterior. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or as a main course served with couscous and a fresh salad.
