  1. This works out really well on the grill, using boneless thighs. We buy za'atar by the bag and this seemed like a great opportunity to use some up on about 1 1/2 pounds of thighs. We mixed 2 tablespoons of za'atar with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. onion powder, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/8 tsp. cayenne, and added 1 tsp. smoked paprika, put the mixed rub on the meat, and let it sit in the fridge a couple of hours before grilling. The honey and lemon mixture at the end is wonderful, not too sweet. Don't apply it until then, as it would likely burn. The rub and glaze would be wonderful on almost anything you grill, especially pork.
     
  2. I make a homemade version of za'atar and this is the recipe I use: Recipe #16621 although I replace thyme with marjoram. All the seasonings and spices were placed in a bag along with the chicken and then shaken to evenly distribute the spices. After drizzling the honey on the meat, I allowed it to bake for 10 minutes total but be sure to watch this carefully as not to burn the chicken. (Local blackberry honey, too.) Served over orzo pasta and with a simple romaine salad. Green onions garnished on top. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. I wanted to see if I could get away with using a sugar-free honey in this and I'm glad I did because it worked out fine. Very tasty and enjoyable!
     
  4. We just have to give this one a 5 star...I did use recipe #16621 for the za'atar spice...I thought I had some but...no...anyway this was full of spicy flavors...which we just loved...it's one of our most fav chicken wing reciped now...thanks for posting it...=)
     
  5. Went to the supermarket and neither the deli or meat department had wings and I haven't seen chicken thighs on the bone in years so bought what we call a Maryland cut (thigh and leg intact together and then disjointed myself and followed the recipe allowing an extra 10 minutes cooking time for a beautifully flavoured chicken and I think the addition of the honey/lemon juice in the last 5 to 10 minutes just tops of this recipe so well. Thank you Kerfuffle-Upon0Wincle, made for 123 Hits tag game, under the 24 hour rule.
