Za'atar chicken

<p>A beautiful marriage of <strong>Middle Eastern za'atar</strong> and Indian spice traditions. This aromatic herb blend — thyme, sumac, and sesame — coats chicken pieces that roast to crispy perfection. A testament to how <em>Fari's kitchen</em> embraces global flavors while making them distinctly her own.</p>
