Zaatar Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs that are ridiculously simple yet packed with flavor thanks to a generous amount of za’atar. I like to serve this chicken with a fresh green salad of romaine, red onion, and tomato with a tahini-lemon dressing.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 2

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place chicken in a bowl and coat with olive oil. Season liberally with sea salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step: 3

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, skin-side down, to the hot skillet. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon za’atar immediately over each chicken thigh. Cook chicken, without turning, until skin is crispy and browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

Step: 4

Turn chicken so skin side faces up and remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle remaining za’atar quickly and evenly over each chicken thigh. Spoon some of the rendered chicken fat from the pan over the top of the za’atar.

Step: 5

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink near the bone, about 15 minutes.

Depriving yourself can lead to lot of eat , late-night snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and got eat , it is much necessary to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

When it comes to eat on evening , overeating or eating too much of the wrong item of food will make lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the other side, a meal that is less than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to bedtime .
