Spicy Chicken Wings With Harissa Food

SLOW COOKER HARISSA CHICKEN

Steps:

• To the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker, add the Harissa paste and 1 Tbsp of the olive oil. Add onion, potatoes, carrots and 1/2 tsp salt and stir gently to combine.
• In a small bowl, add garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Stir, and sprinkle evenly over chicken thighs.
• Add remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet and heat over MED-HIGH. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook 4-5 minutes, until golden brown.
• Place browned chicken thighs over the top of vegetables in slow cooker. For extra harissa flavor, spoon some paste over the chicken and spread to cover. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
• Serve chicken thighs with vegetables and a spoonful of cooking juices spooned over the top. Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

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.

MOROCCAN HARISSA CHICKEN WINGS

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.

SPICY CHICKEN WINGS WITH HARISSA

Steps:

• Chicken Wings:Season wings with salt and pepper; transfer to a resealable bag with half of harissa. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature, or in the refrigerator up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with a rimmed baking sheet inside. Wipe excess harissa from wings; coat lightly with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully remove sheet from oven; add wings in a single layer. Roast, flipping once, until browned in spots, 35 to 40 minutes. Brush with remaining harissa; roast until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes more. Serve with cilantro leaves and lime wedges.
