A step by step guide to making a traditional chicken dish flavoured with Zaatar spice mix. This was served on this occasion with a simple green salad and a dill, chilli and yoghurt sauce. A lot simpler to make than perhaps it appears because most of it can be prepared in advance and then you simply cook the chicken when you are ready to serve it up. #chicken #zaatar
