Harissa Grilled Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are a perfect game day dish, and our winning strategy scores with bold flavor! A quick toss in a Harissa dry rub followed with a saucy glaze combining butter, Moroccan Preserved Meyer Lemon Paste, vinegar and honey brings the platter to the table without much fuss and they are absolutely delicious. The bold, toasty flavor of Harissa has mild smoky heat that goes well with all your favorite dipping sauces. Grilling gives that great char flavor and their moist, meaty texture is always a crowd pleaser. Buffalo and blue cheese have met their match!

You can do this the night before for a breezy morning. Tastes like spring is here!
