Ingredients
- 2 Chicken Legs
- 2 tablespoon Zaatar
- 1 tablespoon Dried Mint
- 1 teaspoon Dried Chilli Flakes
- ½ teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt
- 3 tablespoon Pomegranate Molasses
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients (apart from the chicken) to form a thick paste.
- Spread the chicken legs with a thick layer of the zaatar crust.
- Place the chicken on a baking tray and cook for 30-35 minutes at 180°C or 350°F.
- Check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached at least 68-69°C or 158-160°F, before removing and resting for 5 minutes.
I prefer to cook chicken legs closer to 80°C or 175°F; my timing should deliver this.
Air Fryer Cooking Instructions:
- Place the crusted chicken legs into the air fryer basket and cook for 20-23 minutes at 180°c or 350°.
Check the internal temperature before serving as above.
