This summer I have discovered the wonderful world of Middle Eastern spice mixes. If you love grilling but don't always have the time or energy to come up with homemade seasoning, these mixes are the way to go. I recently purchased Baharat and Za'atar spice mixes at World Market and they are a BBQ game changer. You can mix the spice mixes with some olive oil and use that as a marinade. In this recipe, lemon and garlic are added for an extra layer of flavor. This takes about 5 minutes to put together and received rave reviews last time I made it.
Recipe adapted from Adeena Sussman
3 tablespoons za'atar
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
In a bowl, mix together the za'atar, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, garlic and salt. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes or up to to 6 hours
Heat your grill to medium high heat (350F to 450F). Grill the chicken for 4 to 8 minutes per side, until cooked through. Enjoy fresh from the grill.
