Savory Baked Za’atar Chicken Thighs: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 2 tablespoons za’atar seasoning
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 lemon, zested and juiced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Savory Baked Za’atar Chicken Thighs is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, za’atar seasoning, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet.
5. Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
6. Broil (Optional): For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you effortlessly in creating the most flavorful Savory Baked Za’atar Chicken Thighs.
