Roast Chicken Za’atar

This is good with white rice, bulgur wheat or couscous. Fattoush (stay tuned for recipe) makes a good salad accompaniment.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken leg quarters
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons za’atar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine oil, lemon juice, za’atar and garlic in a small bowl, stir to form a paste.
3. Place chicken in an oiled roasting pan and coat completely with za’atar paste.
4. Bake until juice runs clear and outside is crispy, about 20 minutes per pound.
