A tip when making this chicken dinner: Cutting slashes into the meat helps it absorb the flavor of the za'atar (herb) rub in this easy one-sheet pan meal.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons za'atar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 pound fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1 medium red onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 lemon, cut in half
1 bunch (8 ounces) lacinato kale, ribs removed, torn into 2-inch pieces (about 4 packed cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small bowl, mix za'atar with 2 tablespoons oil and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • With a sharp knife, cut two 1-inch-long slashes in each piece of chicken, through skin and down to bone. Rub za'atar mixture all over chicken and into slashes.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast in lower third of oven, stirring once, until starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Toss onion with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper; add to baking sheet along with chicken pieces and lemon halves. Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest parts of chicken (not touching bones) registers about 150 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Switch oven to broiler setting. Move baking sheet to upper third of oven; broil until chicken is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle kale lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Scatter kale over chicken and broil until just wilted and thermometer inserted into thickest parts of chicken registers 165 degrees, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool slightly, then squeeze lemon halves over chicken. Remove chicken to a platter; toss vegetables together and serve alongside.

This recipe is a great way to get a healthy and flavorful meal on the table in a short amount of time. The chicken and potatoes cook together in one pan, so there's minimal cleanup involved.

I'm always looking for new and exciting chicken recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The zaatar seasoning is a nice change from the usual herbs and spices I use, and it really makes the dish stand out.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some roasted chicken I had in the fridge, and it was perfect. The zaatar potatoes and greens added a lot of flavor and made the dish feel like a new meal.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so moist and tender, and the zaatar potatoes were crispy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again!
