Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste I use Trader Joe's harissa paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup red onion sliced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 4 - 6 skewers I like metal skewers

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken thighs into long strips
  • In a large bowl, combine the harissa, honey, and lemon juice.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Top with the sliced onions. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to absorb the flavors.
  • Turn on your Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill and set it to medium heat.
  • Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers.
  • Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  • Add the onions to the grill and cook over medium heat until just softened.
  • Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with the onions and dig in!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Marinate the chicken for as long as you can - up to overnight - for the best flavor.
  • Use metal skewers for better heat conduction and easier handling.
  • If you prefer a smokier flavor, you can use the smoke function for this Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill recipe.
  • Baste the chicken with extra marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
