Ingredients

4 chicken legs cut in half (about 2 ½ pounds)
3 tablespoons za’atar
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ red onion sliced into wedges
Chopped fresh parsley for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Pat the chicken dry and place in a 9×12 baking dish.

In a small bowl, stir together the za’atar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub the za’atar seasoning well into the chicken all over. Scatter the red onions all over.

Roast until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F, 35 to 40 minutes. Broil for an additional 2-4 minutes until the chicken is browned.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with potatoes, rice pilaf or salad.
