Creating Moroccan Harissa Chicken is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine harissa paste, olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken.

3. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

4. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish, skin-side up.

5. Roast the Chicken: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

6. Baste Occasionally: Halfway through cooking, you may baste the chicken with its own juices to enhance flavor and moisture.

7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps retain the juices.

8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sliced almonds before serving for added flavor and presentation.
