Ingredients
– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

– 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.
