Serves 2–3
Quick and easy traybakes are the way forward. I love the ease of throwing a load of ingredients into a roasting tin and just popping it in the oven, especially when the results are really good and make you think you want to do this again. Happy days.
INGREDIENTS
6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 heaped tablespoon za’atar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic granules
finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed lemon and juice of 1/2
Maldon sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan), Gas Mark 4. Line a roasting tin with baking paper.
Put the chicken thighs into a mixing bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and add the spices, garlic granules, lemon zest and juice and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix until the thighs are well coated in the mixture on both sides.
Place on the lined tin and roast for 1 hour until nicely browned and cooked through (check them after
45 minutes). Serve immediately.
Serve with Baked Halloumi with Lemon, Wild Thyme & Honey or Spiced Orzo Polow
