Zaatar Broiled Chicken Leg Quarters
Keep a watchful eye over the leg quarters once you have glazed them and they’ll come out crispy and savory. The Zaatar blend is reminiscent of a good curry but earthier and pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the carrots and molasses glaze. Adding a touch of lime juice works to brighten the entire dish.
