The ingredients needed to make Spicy Za'atar Honey Citrus Chicken Thighs:
  1. Get 8 Chicken Thighs
  2. Take 4 Garlic Cloves
  3. Get 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce

Add chicken thighs, skin-side down, to the hot skillet. Soaking it overnight along with a salt water brine (which has honey, za'atar, lemon + a variety of spices for flavor) seasons the meat and breaks down the proteins in the chicken to keep it moist as it fries.

This honey-citrus sauce is wonderful over chicken thighs, but it also is one that complements a variety of proteins from pork chops to shrimp.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. In a large bowl combine the garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sriracha, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix well and add the chicken. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. In a baking dish arrange the grapefruit and blood orange slices. Place the chicken on top. Drizzle more of the marinating mixture and sprinkle with half the za'atar. Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Take out of the oven and sprinkle the rest of the za'atar on top. Drizzle more lime juice. Enjoy!
