Roasted Za'atar Chicken
Get ready for a flavor explosion with juicy Za'atar roasted chicken drumsticks and thighs! Perfectly seasoned and irresistibly delicious.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken legs cut in half (about 2 ½ pounds)
- 3 tablespoons za'atar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ red onion sliced into wedges
- Chopped fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Pat the chicken dry and place in a 9x12 baking dish.
- In a small bowl, stir together the za'atar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub the za'atar seasoning well into the chicken all over. Scatter the red onions all over.
- Roast until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F, 35 to 40 minutes. Broil for an additional 2-4 minutes until the chicken is browned.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with potatoes, rice pilaf or salad.
Notes
Storage:
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in a preheated 350-degree oven until heated through. You can also reheat it in an air fryer for 5-6 minutes.
Tips:
Get extra crispy skin. While roasting should give you an evenly baked chicken, you may want to add a nice crisp top to the skin by broiling for just a few minutes.
Use a thermometer to check for doneness. Because we're using bone-in chicken drumsticks and thighs, it's best to get right next to the bone to make sure it is cooked through.
