Instructions

Mix the olive oil, harissa powder, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to form a thick paste.
Rub the paste all over the chicken thighs or place the paste and chicken in a large bowl or sealable bag. Shake or roll it around to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least one hour or more for enhanced flavor.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
Line a baking tray or rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the tray.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach at least 74°C (165°F).
Let the chicken rest for five minutes to reabsorb its juices before serving.
