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.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The zaatar adds a nice savory flavor to the chicken and potatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I had some mashed potatoes in the fridge and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It was still very tasty and I would definitely make it again.

I'm not a fan of kale, so I used spinach instead. The recipe turned out great and the spinach was a nice addition.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the potatoes and they were delicious. This recipe is very versatile and you can easily add your own favorite ingredients.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with rotisserie chicken and it turned out great. The potatoes and greens were also very tasty.
