This bold, comforting dish is inspired by North African flavors, with harissa as the star. It's a fragrant, spicy chile paste that gives the chicken a deep, complex heat. Juicy thighs roast up perfectly alongside sweet, caramelized leeks and crispy golden potatoes. The result is a cozy, satisfying meal that's big on flavor but easy enough for a weeknight. Whether you're cooking for friends or just want something different for dinner, this one's a winner.
