Share:
Ingredients
- 4 chicken leg and thighs (or breasts, preferably bone-in and skin-on)
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (peeled, and light smashed but left whole)
- 4 tablespoon za'atar (divided)
- 1 lemon (cut into slices)
- 2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ cup almonds (for topping)
- parsley or mint (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 mins until fragrant. Remove and crush.
- Remove skillet from heat. Add olive oil, garlic, and half of the za'atar. Let sizzle while prepping chicken.
- Pat chicken dry, season with salt. Place chicken in skillet, skin-side up. Baste with olive oil mixture, top with remaining za'atar, salt, and lemon slices.
- Roast in oven for about 40 mins until skin browns and juices run clear. Baste every 10 mins for crispy skin. Use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F internal temp.
- Remove from oven, cool briefly. Serve with chopped almonds, lemon slices, parsley, mint, sea salt, and pan drippings.
Notes
- Let the chicken come to room temperature before roasting. This allows the chicken to cook more evenly and creates a crispier skin.
