Sheet Pan Harissa Honey Chicken

Sheet Pan Harissa Honey Chicken

Harissa paste is one of my favorite magical ingredients. It provides such a unique, smokey flavor and pairs well with so many things, chicken, fish, vegetables..anything really.I think this Sheet Pan Harissa Honey Chicken is a bit self-explanatory, but the simple sauce of harissa paste and honey brings a sweet and savory flavor to simple roasted chicken and carrots. Orange slices bring some pretty color and brightness. It’s a dish that is simple enough for a weeknight, but special enough for an occasion.
