Slow cooking the chicken wings after charring makes them extra tender and delicious! These would also pair nicely with a lemon-herb aioli, or Greek yogurt sauce.

How To Make charred harissa chicken wings

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Step 2
    Coat chicken wings with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Place wings on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Place in the oven on the middle rack and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the wings are charred in spots. Remove from the oven to cool slightly.
  • Step 3
    Whisk together harissa, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, paprika and garlic in a medium bowl. Add chicken wings and toss to thoroughly coat.
  • Step 4
    Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees, place the wings back on the rack, cover with aluminum foil and continue to cook for an additional 55-60 minutes. Uncover for the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Remove, transfer to a platter and serve with the lemon slices.
