Why we like it

Bone-in, skin-on thighs stay juicy and crisp up in the oven, and za'atar (a blend of thyme, oregano, sumac and sesame) gives a tangy, herby crust. Serve with a simple salad for an easy low-carb dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 2 tbsp za'atar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley
  • Simple salad to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  2. Mix za'atar with olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
  3. Score chicken skin and rub marinade all over — under the skin too.
  4. Place in a roasting pan. Squeeze half the lemon over.
  5. Roast 30-35 minutes until skin is crispy and juices run clear.
  6. Rest 5 minutes.
  7. Serve with salad, remaining lemon and fresh parsley.
