Zhug Chicken

Zhug Chicken

Recipe by Buckwheat Queen from allrecipes.com

Dinner 3 Hr. 35 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • ¾ cup zhug sauce, divided
  • 1 boneless chicken breast
  • 2 chicken legs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 bone-in chicken thighs with skin
  • 2 whole artichokes
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, drained
  • ½ cup marinated sun-dried tomatoes, drained

Instructions

  • Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons zhug sauce over each piece of chicken. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before cooking so chicken is at room temperature.
  • Remover the outer leaves from artichokes to expose the core leaves and hearts. Cut artichokes into quarters. Put them into a bowl, cover with water, and add lemon juice. Mix artichokes around and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place marinated chicken into a deep baking dish. Drain artichokes and add them around the chicken, pushing them down to keep them from being exposed and drying out. Top with olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Bake, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
