Oven-Roasted Za'atar Chicken Thighs

Oven-Roasted Za'atar Chicken Thighs feature juicy, boneless chicken coated in a fragrant blend of za’atar and olive oil that bakes into a toasty, herb-forward crust. The tangy, earthy spices shine against the tender meat, making it a standout for a weeknight dinner or a spread with Middle Eastern sides, salads, or wraps.

Oven-Roasted Za'atar Chicken Thighs
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, stir together the za'atar, salt, and olive oil until it forms a thick paste. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them generously on all sides. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
