  (use my homemade harissa paste recipe [https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/sauces/homemade-harissa-paste/])
• Juice from 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon spicy chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs and extra spicy chili flakes for serving

Instructions

• 1 Pat the chicken legs dry and set them into a plastic bag or a large bowl.
• 2 Add the harissa, lemon juice, olive oil and seasonings to a food processor and
  process until smooth. Pour it into the bag or bowl with the chicken.
• 3 Rub the chicken legs down with the harissa marinade. Really rub it into the
  skins.
• 4 Cover and set the chicken into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Leaving
  them overnight will result in more developed flavor.
• 5 Fire up the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the chicken
  legs for about 35-40 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to keep from burning,
  until they are cooked through. They should measure 165 degrees F internally.
• 6 Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs and chili flakes.
