From the Test Kitchen

A staple in Middle Eastern and North African cuisines, harissa is a smoky, spicy chile paste that gives the sauce for our baked chicken its bold kick, while a yogurt base helps to balance the harissa and keep the chicken moist. We’re saving some of the delectable sauce to serve on the side—perfect drizzled over the chicken or added into a vibrant farro salad made with collard greens and persimmon, an autumn fruit known for its sweet, delicately spiced flavor.

Harissa-Baked Chicken

Make the yogurt sauce & bake the chicken:
1 Make the yogurt sauce & bake the chicken:

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Heat a small pot of salted water to boiling on high. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Lightly oil the foil. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, harissa paste, half the vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer half the yogurt sauce to a serving dish; set aside. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the seasoned chicken to the large bowl of remaining yogurt sauce. Turn to thoroughly coat. Place on the prepared sheet pan. Bake 19 to 21 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board

2 Cook the farro:

While the chicken bakes, add the farro to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 17 to 19 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
