  • 6 tablespoon harissa paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoom sumac

  • 2 large limes or lemons, (juice of)
  • 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 20 large chicken drumsticks
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 large red onion, (sliced)

Instruction

  • To make the garlic-harissa marinade, in a food processor, blend the chopped garlic, harissa paste, nutmeg, sumac, thyme, lime juice and olive oil.
  • Pat the chicken drumsticks dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Now apply the garlic-harissa marinade to the chicken drumsticks, particularly underneath the skin. Do not discard the remaining marinade.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks with the sliced onions in a large jumbo kitchen bag with a seal. Pour the extra marinade on top. Seal the bag shut and massage the contents so that the chicken is well covered in the garlic-harissa marinade.
  • Refrigerate for four hours or overnight.
  • When ready, heat an outdoor grill to medium. Grill the drumsticks on medium heat, covered, for 35-40 minutes or until well done. As they grill, turn the drumsticks every 7-8 minutes.
