Harissa-Marinated Grilled Chicken

In this dish, chicken is treated with a marinade that is boldly accented with harissa, a fiery Moroccan spice paste. Toasted coriander, with its hints of lemon and caraway, and musky, intense cumin add their fragrance and complexity to the flavorful dish. Cooking on a hot grill adds a smokiness that works well with all of the robust seasonings.
