Harissa Roasted Chicken Recipe: This Easy Whole Baked Chicken Recipe Will Spice Up Your Life by Donna John
Roasted chicken is one of my go-to recipes. Most times I go simple, like with my three-ingredient roasted chicken or butter baked chicken, but sometimes spice is what I need in my life. This harissa baked chicken recipe is what to make for dinner to spice up your life.
The chicken may be colorful, but it's not overly spicy – it's just right. You can add some vegetables around the chicken when baking. I added chunks of carrot, which soaked up the flavorful pan drippings and tasted amazing.
