Mediterranean Chicken

Marinate ahead and grill up easy at dinner time! We used a blend of spices to season the chicken. Harissa is a Tunisian red chili based spice that adds a good kick to the poultry without making it too hot to eat. Tastes great with grilled pita, hummus, arugula and roasted red peppers.
