Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons harissa
2 tablespoons sambal
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grated garlic
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
About 2 quarts neutral oil, for frying
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
Sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, parsley, dill, harissa, sambal, rice wine vinegar, garlic and lemon zest and juice. Season generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.

MOROCCAN HARISSA CHICKEN WINGS

These baked chicken wings are coated in flavorful, mildly spicy harissa, a North-African condiment with a beautiful brick-red color. Tossing the wings with baking powder before cooking produces extra-crispy skin without frying. For larger chicken wings, simply cook them an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the desired level of crispiness is reached.

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint, wingtips removed and discarded
3 teaspoons baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
10 dried New Mexico chiles (2 ounces), stems removed
8 dried guajillo chiles (1 1/2 ounces), stems removed
1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
2 oranges
1/2 cup salt-cured black olives, pitted and halved
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch radishes, greens discarded

Steps:

  • Put one-third of the wings in a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon baking powder and toss until evenly coated. Use tongs to spread the wings on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken wings and baking powder in two batches. Liberally sprinkle both sides of the wings with salt and pepper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Meanwhile, make the harissa: Tear open the chiles and discard the seeds. (You may leave the seeds in if you prefer a spicy harissa.) Tear the chiles into large pieces and place them in a medium bowl. Pour 4 cups boiling water over the chiles and let stand until softened, about 20 minutes.
  • Put the coriander and cumin seeds in a small skillet and cook, swirling often, over medium heat, until the seeds are fragrant and lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the spices to a blender, add the oil, garlic, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon kosher salt, then puree until smooth. Using tongs, add the chiles to the blender along with 1 cup of their soaking liquid (discard the rest) and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes on high. Season the harissa with pepper and set aside while you finish the wings.
  • Bake the wings, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • For the salad: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from 1 orange, avoiding the white pith, and cut it into very thin strips; transfer to a medium bowl. Using a knife, remove the white pith from both oranges, then cut the fruit crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Add the orange rounds to the bowl along with the olives, mint and oil and toss to combine. Slice the radishes into thin wedges and toss with the orange mixture; let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl and pour 1 1/2 cups of the harissa over, tossing to coat evenly. Transfer the wings to a platter and serve with the orange, olive and radish salad on the side. Serve the remaining harissa on the side for dipping or reserve for another use.

EASY SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

The wings may be oven baked instead of grilling, this also works well using small chicken drumsticks instead of the wings although cooking time will need to be increased --- adjust the cayenne pepper to suit heat level, and the recipe may be doubled, this is easy and *ver* good!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of chili peppers to create different levels of heat. For a mild sauce, use sweet paprika and ancho chili powder. For a medium sauce, add some cayenne pepper and chipotle powder. For a hot sauce, include habanero and ghost pepper powder.
  • Roast the chili peppers before grinding them. This will help to release their flavor and create a more complex sauce.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices to add flavor to the sauce. Common herbs and spices used in harissa include cumin, coriander, mint, and cilantro.
  • Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer the sauce simmers, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the harissa sauce with grilled or roasted chicken, fish, or vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a condiment for sandwiches and wraps.

Conclusion:

Harissa is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, harissa is a surefire way to add some spice to your life.
