🥘 Ingredients
Chicken
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on about 2 lbs)
Marinade
  • 3 tbsp harissa paste (adjust to heat tolerance)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin (ground)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (kosher)
Garnish
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
📝 Instructions
  1. Mix harissa paste, yogurt, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Shared 💡 Taste the harissa — heat levels vary greatly between brands.
  2. Coat chicken thighs thoroughly with harissa mixture. Marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge. Shared 💡 Longer marination = deeper flavor penetration.
  3. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 380°F. Place chicken skin-side down in pan. Shared 💡 Skin-down first renders fat and prevents sticking.
  4. Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes. Flip skin-side up. Cook 8-10 more minutes until skin is crispy and internal temp reaches 175°F. Top Oven 💡 Dark meat benefits from 175°F — it stays juicier at higher temps.
  5. Rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges. Shared 💡 Resting redistributes juices — do not skip this step.
💡 Ninja Tips

Bone-in thighs stay juicier than boneless. Harissa paste varies widely in heat — taste yours first. Marinate overnight for deepest flavor.
