I made this simple dish on Friday night. The fresh mediterranean flavor was an instant hit.
Recipe from Joy of Kosher
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 Tsp. salt
- 1 Tsp. pepper
- 2 tablespoons Za”atar
- 2 whole chickens, cut up into 1/4s
Directions
1 Combine marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken in a large ziploc bag. Swish it around a bit so the pieces are fully saturated. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or longer. (Let it go overnight for maximum flavor.)
2 Lay the chicken on a HOT grill, skin side down, for 15 minutes. Turn over and grill for an additional 10 minutes. Remove to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
In the winter months these GRILL PANS are a great alternative to chilly outdoor cooking :

I made a roasted version of this recipe with vegetables for last Shabbat. Check out how beautiful it turned out @ http://socalkosher.blogspot.com/2011/07/shabbat-table-zaatar-chicken.html
Thanks for the inspiring recipe.
I use zata spice on wonton wrappers, bake them with a little olive oil sprinkled on them and serve them in salads.
I also use Zata as a base for salad dressings. Crush garlic, add lemon juice, salt, crushed red pepper (optional), whisk in olive oil.
Zaatar is not available where I live. Can I make it from other spices? What are they?
Try shopping for it online. sadaf.com might carry it or search for an online kosher grocery store.
This Zaatar chicken recipe looks good and easy! Can it be subsituted with cutlets as well?
