Juice of 1 lemonabout 1 ½ Tablespoons

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C/365F
Deseed the bell peppers and cut them into big chunks, peel and chop the onions roughly and add to a rimmed baking sheet
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a kitchen paper towel and place them on the baking sheet along with the peppers and onions
Wash the potatoes clean under cold running water and cut them into 1-inch chunks or halves if small. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet with the chicken, peppers, and onions
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the chicken and veggies then sprinkle garlic granules, salt, and pepper to taste over everything.
Spoon the harissa paste over the chicken and veggies. Using your hand, carefully mix everything together until well combined. (I suggest you place the chicken skin side down)
Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 40 minutes flipping halfway through or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden. To ensure the proper doneness of cooked chicken, it's vital to check its internal temperature reads 74F/165F.
Carefully, remove the baking tray from the oven, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over everything if desired, serve and enjoy!
