Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C(fan)/375°F/Gas 5. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Put all of the ingredients (except the oil) into a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Use the oil to coat your hands, then form the mince mixture into nine sausage shapes. Place them onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Put into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.

Notes

  • Use oiled hands when shaping the kofta, as chicken mince is naturally quite sticky. This makes the mixture much easier to handle and gives the kofta a smoother shape.
  • Do not make the kofta too thick, or the outside may cook before the middle is fully done. Nine small sausage shapes cook quickly and evenly.
  • If the mixture feels too wet to shape, add a little more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time. If it feels too dry, add a small spoonful of harissa or a drizzle of oil.
  • Turn the kofta halfway through baking so they colour evenly on both sides.
  • Do not overbake them. Chicken mince can dry out if cooked for too long, so check them at 15 minutes and only add a couple more minutes if needed.
  • Let the kofta rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices settle and keeps them more tender.
  • Taste your harissa before adding it. Some are very mild and tomatoey, while others are much spicier. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
