Crispy tasty chicken made with zakat.
Zakat is a popular spice combo used in the Middle East, often simply sprinkled on flat bread with olive oil and baked.
Buy Zakat at a Mid-East grocer or mix your own by combining sesame seeds, thyme, sumac and salt.
Sprinkle chicken pieces on both sides with olive oil and a generous amount of zakat. Marinade at least an hour (in the fridge). I used chicken thighs, but drumsticks and breast strips are yummy too.
Cook at 350 until cooked through and crispy outside, about 30 minutes depending on your choice of cut.
olives, cold Mid-East chicken and cottage cheese
Leftovers are mighty good cold.
