Suitable for: Gluten free

4 chicken legs
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp olive oil

2 red onions, sliced with skin on
4 garlic cloves, left whole with skin on
1 lemon, quartered

Za’atar yogurt

100g plain yogurt​

Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. Place the chicken legs in a roasting dish and sprinkle over the allspice, salt and olive oil. Rub in well.

Nestle the onions, garlic and lemon in the tray and bake for 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden.

Once the chicken is cooked, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the yoghurt and stir in the za’atar, salt and lemon juice.

Serve the chicken drizzled with the yoghurt, and sprinkle with the house blend to finish.
