Method

Lemon Za'atar Half Chicken Directions

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, za'atar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken halves and coat them well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roast the Chicken

Place the marinated chicken halves on a baking sheet, skin-side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

Rest and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
