These Harissa Chicken Wings are a flavorful twist on classic chicken wings. Harissa is a Middle Eastern spice blend made from chili peppers, garlic, cumin, coriander, and other spices. The blend is known for its spicy and aromatic flavor, which when combined with chicken wings creates a perfect balance of heat and flavor. These wings are perfect for game day, party appetizers, or casual dinners with friends and family. They are easy to prepare and budget-friendly, making them a hit in any occasion.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, harissa, garlic, and salt.
