    *(Serves 4)*

    Ingredients

    For the Chicken and Potatoes:

    - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
    - 2 lbs (900g) baby potatoes, halved
    - 3 tbsp olive oil
    - 3 tsp of your F N Good Food Za’atar seasoning (adjust to taste)
    - 1 lemon, thinly sliced
    - 4 cloves garlic, minced
    - 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
    - 1/2 tsp black pepper
    - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

    For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:

    - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
    - 2 cloves garlic, minced
    - 1 tbsp lemon juice
    - 1 tbsp olive oil
    - 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
    - Salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    2. Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes:
    In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs and halved baby potatoes with olive oil, F N Good Food Za’atar seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.

    3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes, skin-side up. Scatter the lemon slices around the chicken and potatoes.

    4. Roast:
    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender and crispy. If the chicken skin isn’t crispy enough, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end (watch closely to avoid burning).

    5. Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: 
    While the chicken and potatoes roast, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

    6. Garnish and Serve:
    Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with the garlic yogurt sauce on the side.

    Tips
    - For a complete meal, serve with a side of steamed green beans or a simple salad.
    - If you prefer boneless chicken, reduce the cooking time to 25-30 minutes.
    - Double the za’atar seasoning for extra flavour.

    This Za’atar-Roasted Chicken with Lemon Herb Potatoes and Garlic Yogurt Sauce is a flavourful and satisfying dish that showcases the aromatic and tangy flavours of F N Good Food Za’atar seasoning. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion.

    Enjoy!
