For extra crispy skin, ensure the chicken thighs are very dry before searing. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning. Serve these flavorful chicken thighs with a vibrant green salad or your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season generously with sea salt and black pepper on all sides. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepHeat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, to the hot skillet. Immediately sprinkle 1 teaspoon of za'atar over each thigh. Cook undisturbed until the skin is crispy and deeply browned. (Cook time: 7-10 minutes)
04
StepTurn the chicken thighs so the skin side faces up. Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the remaining za'atar evenly over each thigh. Spoon some of the rendered chicken fat from the pan over the za'atar for added richness. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
StepPlace the skillet in the preheated oven and roast until the juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink near the bone. (Cook time: 15 minutes)
