Is harissa honey chicken spicy? This is a reasonable question to ask since harissa is a chili paste. It does have some heat, but generally speaking, it isn’t super spicy. It tastes peppery and smoky and also has some garlic and citrus notes. But different brands of harissa can vary a lot in spiciness. We usually use Mina harissa, which is widely available and mildly spicy. Taste your harissa before adding it to the recipe and if it tastes too spicy, you can use less. The best part about this harissa honey chicken recipe is that the harissa is balanced with honey so you get more of a sweet and spiced combination.
