Arabic Chicken With Lemon & Thyme
By: winkki
Dec 5, 2003
Our favorite recipe from our favorite Syrian-Lebanese cookbook, "Foods from Biblical Lands."The actual name is Djaj ma' limoon wa za' tar, but the kids call it "Arabic Chicken" and ask for it frequently. Save the leftover cooking juices to put over rice, potatoes, etc. (Actually, we use the marinade on potatoes, zukes, green beans..whatever we have and can throw in the oven). It's one of my standard potluck dishes and always gets raves (I use smaller chunks of chicken when cooking and then layer it over a 9x13 pan of rice pilaf for an easy self-serve dish). Also works to use packages of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (be careful not to overcook!). I've even been pressed for time and not broiled it and liked it just as much, or used it as marinade for grilled chicken...hard to mess this one up!

This was absolutely delicious. Right from the start we knew it was going to be good because it smelled incredible just as a marinade. Thank you for sharing this yummy chicken recipe. I used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder, but followed the rest.

My husband gave this recipe two thumbs up! I made a half quantity just for us using chicken legs and I used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. I cooked the chicken in a covered baking dish. It was cooked through after 45 minutes, so I removed the lid and let it brown the last 15 minutes. It came out nice and crispy. I had the leftovers for lunch the next day - yummy!
