Harissa Chicken Tray Bake, I have fallen head over heels for harissa paste – it is so SO tasty! It’s great with chicken, in burgers, on french fries – you name it! Plus who doesn’t love an easy traybake?! This chicken is SO crispy and delicious yet made perfectly moist with the amazing harissa paste – roasted to perfection with garlic that just pops out of the cloves, baby peppers, lemon, onion and cherry tomatoes all of which together build up to this EPIC combo! Yes, you read it here first – this is a recipe to get excited about!
