Za’atar Chicken with Garlicky Yoghurt

Ingredients for Za’atar Chicken with Garlicky Yoghurt

• 4 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick

• about 1.1kg total)

• 2 medium red onions, cut into 1"-thick wedges

• 2 heads of garlic, halved crosswise, plus 2 cloves

• 1 lemon, quartered, seeds removed

• Sal kosher

• 80ml de azeite de oliva extra-virgem

• 350ml plain whole-milk Greek yoghurt

• 3 tablespoons za’atar

• 1 colher de chá de coentro em pó

• 1 colher de chá de raspas de limão finamente raladas

• 1 colher de chá de raspas de limão finamente raladas

Preheat oven to 163°C. Pat chicken legs dry with paper towels. Arrange chicken, onions, halved garlic heads, and lemon in a 13x9" baking dish; season liberally with salt (remember to season both sides of chicken). Pour in oil and toss everything to coat. Turn garlic cut side down and nestle it in so it is in contact with the baking dish. Roast, rotating pan halfway through, until meat is almost falling off the bone, 50–60 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely grate 1 garlic clove into a small bowl. Add yoghurt, a big pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon water and mix well. Set aside yoghurt sauce.

Remove baking dish from oven and transfer onions, garlic, and lemon to a plate. Increase oven temperature to 218°C and continue to roast chicken until skin is golden brown, 10–15 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Set aside pan with juices.

Finely grate remaining garlic clove into another small bowl. Add za’atar, coriander, lemon zest, and lime zest. Pour reserved juices in pan into za’atar mixture until you’ve reached an oily consistency (about 50g ). Mix in a pinch of salt.

Spread reserved yoghurt sauce over a platter and arrange chicken legs on top. Scatter onions, garlic, and lemon around; drizzle with za’atar oil.
