Lemon Za'atar Chicken

Serving: 6

Ingredients:

1. 1 pack 8-piece chicken

2. 1/4 cup za'atar seasoning

3. 1/3 cup olive oil

4. 1 large lemon

Directions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.

2. Mix za'atar and olive oil.

3. Brush the za'atar mixture on all sides of your chicken - under the skin too!

4. Place in a baking pan and slice lemons around the chicken.

5. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes.

6. Take the chicken out and squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken.

*Note: The lemons are very hot - to avoid burning your fingers, take tongs to squeeze the lemons

7. Place the chicken back in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour longer.

*Note: I usually leave my dark meat in longer than my white meat to avoid drying it out.
