Tender, juicy chicken legs, with citrusy tones and unique spices. Say. No. More.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 chicken legs, skinless
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste

METHOD

  1. Carefully cut four slits into each of the chicken legs, and place in a baking dish or tray.
  2. Mix together the lemon juice, garlic, Za’atar, olive oil and salt. Rub this mix on the chicken, making sure to get inside the cuts.
  3. Cover the chicken with film and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if you can.
