This was so delicious! Thank you for all your amazing recipes!!

This recipe is phenomenal. Been following Heifa's recipes for years so this was expected. The only bad thing about this is there were no leftovers because  everyone loved it so much :/

Made this recipe last night and it was a huge hit with everyone!

Omg! This is the best recipe ever for baked chicken. I love it!!

I’ve made this dish 2 times now and both times it’s been a hit! The balance of tang and spices is just perfect and the zaatar really comes through. I’ve tried another zaatar chicken recipe and it wasn’t that great, this one is my go to! 
All of Heifa’a recipes are great to be honest!

I made this for my family the other day and it was good. I didn't include the 7 spice because I couldn't find it the supermarket but apart from that everything turned out well.

Just made this for the first time, it was so good and stays super moist. Even after microwaving the leftovers the next day it was still so moist! Would taste really good alongside fattoush.

Obsessed with zaatar flavour, so this was perfect! I used chicken breast and it still came out juicy.

Such a delicious recipe. I had tried Za'atar chicken at my friend's house but thought for some reason it must be a bit complicated to make, since it is so full of flavour. One google search later led me here, and now this recipe is a staple in our home too!

this recipe is so good and so flavorful! I made it with chicken breast. Love it and will be adding to our dinner rotation!

This recipe is in my regular dinner rotation!! Fool proof cooking and packed with flavor. I tend to be apprehensive when cooking chicken so I love a baked recipe that can give me a juicy result every time - this is it!

I tried this recipe for the first time for my picky eater 2.5 year old son and it was a hit! Fufu’s recipe was extremely easy to follow, quick to make and so freaking good. The chicken came out juicy and the zaatar flavor was perfectly balanced. I was worried it would be a overwhelming flavor but it was incredible. Definitely making this again!

Delicious! Super easy and the kids loved it too!

My family wiped the pan clean with some bread, very delicious! I just added some onions, garlic chips, n tomatoes in addition to the potatoes n added more flaor to it, very good meal!
