Harissa Chicken is a customer favorite, especially on our Harissa Chicken Sandwich! On this sandwich we use our famous Lemon Tahini dressing, avocado, cabbage salad, onion and greens….seriously delicious! It’s also great on its own or as your protein on our Create A Plate.
It’s a boneless thigh and leg baked and seasoned to perfection with Harissa! Harissa is a middle Eastern spice that is earthy and it’s base is red pepper, but it is not “spicy”, perhaps a hint of spice.
You can’t go wrong, come and enjoy…
