Sweet and savory chicken? What could be better!

Honey Roasted Za'atar Chicken with Dried Fruit

dried apricots (scant 2 cups)

pitted dried prunes (scant 2 cups)

Tbsp za’atar

Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

chicken legs, skin-on

dry red wine

kosher salt,

honey

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread apricots and prunes into a 9×13-inch pan.

In a bowl, combine za’atar and olive oil to create a paste. Rub the za’atar paste over chicken; place chicken on dried fruit. Pour wine around the chicken; sprinkle with salt.

Cover tightly with foil; bake for 1 hour.

Uncover the pan. Drizzle the chicken with honey. Bake, uncovered, for an additional 30-45 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with the pan juices.

This dish has become one of our Shabbat main staples. It's great for entertaining as it always looks so fancy, even though it's so simple to prepare! The chicken always turns out flavorful and juicy. The little kids don't always eat the chicken, but they love the dried fruit. I prepare it exactly as written and it always turns out beautifully (though recently I subbed out the prunes for dates because I didn't have any dates on hand, and the dates worked perfectly).
