Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Mix harissa, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Rub all over chicken thighs, season with salt, and let sit 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Place thighs skin-side up in a roasting dish. Roast 30-35 minutes until skin is charred in places and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  3. Step 3

    While chicken roasts, squeeze moisture from grated cucumber. Mix with yogurt, mint, and a pinch of salt.

  4. Step 4

    Rest chicken 5 minutes, then serve with cucumber-yogurt sauce alongside.
