Best Charred Harissa Chicken Wings Recipes

CREAMY HARISSA WINGS

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.
• Season the wings with salt and pepper. Fry in batches until very crisp and golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or spider to remove the wings to the prepared baking sheet and, while the wings are still hot, season with more salt.
• Once all the wings are fried, place them in a large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of the sauce. Transfer the wings to a large platter, garnish with sliced scallions, drizzle generously with more sauce and serve the remaining sauce alongside for dipping.

CHARRED HARISSA CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

HARISSA AND HOT HONEY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 245 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer over medium heat until the thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Pat dry the chicken wings. Sprinkle the wings with the coriander, salt and pepper.
• Put the cornstarch in a medium bowl and dredge the wings.
• Shake off any excess cornstarch and working in 2 batches, fry the wings, turning with tongs every 2 to 3 minutes, until the exterior is crispy, golden and cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes total.
• Transfer the first batch of wings with a spider or slotted spoon to a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and put them in the oven to keep warm. (Make sure the oil returns to the proper temperature before frying each batch.)
• Meanwhile, pour the harissa into a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water to the empty jar of harissa, place the lid back on and shake the jar to release the excess harissa from the sides of the jar. Pour what's left into the large bowl with the harissa. Stir to combine and set aside.
• Finely chop the Calabrian chiles and put them in a medium bowl. Add the honey and stir to combine, then pour the mixture into a small squeeze bottle.
• Snip off the top of the squeeze bottle to make a hole that's big enough for the chopped chiles to easily come through when the bottle is squeezed.
• Finely chop the chives and set aside.
• Remove the second batch of the wings from the oil, shaking off any excess grease, and place the wings directly into the harissa, using tongs to coat the wings on all sides. Add the first batch of the wings to the harissa and coat the wings on all sides.
• Congrats, it's time to plate! Drizzle a large circle of the hot honey around the edge of a plate. Place the wings in the center of the hot honey circle and top them with the finely chopped chives. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
