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


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 38 minute

Ingredients

– 6 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
– 3 tablespoons za’atar spice mix
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Savory Baked Za’atar Chicken Thighs is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to ensure a delicious outcome:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the za’atar spice mix, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Coat the chicken thighs evenly with the marinade. For the best flavor, allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer if time permits).
4. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin-side up. Arrange them so they are not overcrowded.
5. Bake the Chicken: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy.
6. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for a pop of color before serving.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a plate of Savory Baked Za’atar Chicken Thighs ready to impress!
