Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make it again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add some more vegetables to the marinade and I would also use a different type of skewer. The wooden skewers I used burned easily.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my skewers fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I might have needed to cook them for a little longer.

I had some trouble finding harissa paste at my local grocery store. I ended up using a combination of chili powder, cumin, and paprika.

I found the marinade to be a bit too spicy for my taste. I would probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the skewers were still a bit dry. I think I would add a little more oil to the marinade next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I'm glad I did. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the marinade gave it a wonderful flavor. The spice level was just right for me.

These skewers were a hit at our last cookout! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the marinade gave it a delicious smoky flavor. We'll definitely be making these again.
