Djej mchermel is a classic Tunisian grilled chicken dish. Chicken legs are coated in a tangy marinade of harissa, garlic and lemon, then grilled. With no starchy ingredients, it is suitable for a ketogenic diet.
Mix the harissa, crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and salt. Rub the mixture thoroughly over the chicken legs.
Cover the chicken and marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Turn the chicken on a medium-heat grill and cook for 25 minutes, until cooked through on all sides and lightly charred.
Press the marinade firmly over the chicken to remove air pockets and coat every surface evenly. Grill over medium heat; very high heat can char the outside before the chicken is cooked through.
Tarifte önerilen 20 dakika marinasyon bende hiç yeterli olmadı, tavuk baharat tadını tam almamış ve dışı çok soğuk kalmıştı; ikinci denememde 2 saat bekletince çok daha lezzetli ve dengeli bir sonuç aldım.
