Recipe Review

Delicious, succulent chicken with very bright yet rich flavour.

The chicken pieces are marinated for many hours (or overnight) in an interesting mix of ingredients: broth, fresh lemon, onions, garlic, sumac, allspice, cinnamon. They’re then roasted in the same marinade after the addition of za’atar. I didn’t have this spice blend but had the ingredients for it so seasoned the chicken with those instead. I also didn’t bother frying the pine nut garnish, just toasted them in the oven for a few minutes while the chicken was roasting.

This dish was very easy to put together, produced juicy chicken, and made the most wonderful, lemony sauce…..all we needed was some fresh bread to sop it up with and a salad to complete the meal.
