MIDDLE EASTERN-INSPIRED HERB AND GARLIC CHICKEN



Middle Eastern-Inspired Herb and Garlic Chicken image

This recipe was inspired by the Middle Eastern dried seasoning mix called za'atar, a combination of herbs (usually thyme, oregano and marjoram), sesame seeds and sumac, often spiked with salt. Here, fresh herbs are substituted for the dried, which, along with fresh parsley and mint and plenty of lemon and garlic, are used to marinated boneless chicken thighs. If you can't find sumac, just leave it out. It does add a nice tang and vibrant color, but the dish will work without it. Optimum marinating time here is 8 hours. But feel free to leave it for as little as 15 minutes or as long as 24 hours. If you would rather use white meat, substitute boneless skinless breasts but reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
6 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for serving
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, more for serving
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano or marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, more for garnish (optional)
3/4 teaspoon sumac, more for garnish (optional)
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably whole milk yogurt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine chicken with all but 1 teaspoon of the grated garlic (save that teaspoon for the yogurt sauce), the zest and juice of 1 lemon, oil, parsley, mint, thyme, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the sesame seeds and sumac, if using. Cover and marinate for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature; you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
  • Heat grill or broiler. If grilling, cook chicken over high heat until charred in spots, 4 to 7 minutes. Flip pieces and continue grilling until just cooked through, another 4 to 7 minutes. If broiling, arrange a rack 3 to 4 inches from flame. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spread chicken out in a single layer. Broil chicken, turning halfway through cooking, until well colored and charred in spots, 4 to 7 minutes per side. Be careful that it doesn't burn.
  • While chicken cooks, place yogurt in a small bowl. Stir in the reserved grated garlic and lemon zest and season to taste with salt. Serve the chicken drizzled with olive oil, remaining lemon juice to taste, black pepper, parsley and sesame seeds and sumac, if using, with the yogurt alongside for dipping.

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will give the sauce a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
  • Don't be afraid to use a lot of garlic: Garlic adds a delicious savory flavor to the dish. Use as much as you like!
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Add the tomatoes and marjoram towards the end of cooking: This will prevent the tomatoes from becoming too mushy and the marjoram from losing its flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.
