ZA'ATAR CHICKEN AND RICE PILAF RECIPE BY TASTY
This chicken and rice dish makes a great meal for special occasions or impressing guests. It's quite simple to prepare but is full of flavor, and the za'atar brings it all together. Brining the chicken keeps the meat moist while the skin gets nice and crispy, making for a great presentation and almost foolproof cooking. The rice pilaf is hearty and savory, and it cooks up quickly while the chicken roasts.

Steps:
- Spatchcock the chicken: Place the chicken, breast-side down, on a cutting board. Using a pair of kitchen shears or a very sharp knife, find the backbone of the chicken and cut up both sides to remove. Remove any giblets remaining inside the chicken. Turn the chicken over and press down on the breastbone until the chicken lies flat.
- Make the brine: In a small, dry pan, toast the peppercorns, fennel seeds, and coriander seeds until fragrant and starting to change color, 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the toasted spices to a large pot with 1 quart (1 liter) of water, the oregano, thyme, bay leaves, salt, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt, then let boil for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the brine to a large container. Cool the brine by adding the remaining water.
- Place the chicken in the brine, cover the container, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a wire rack or roasting rack on top of a baking sheet.
- Make the chicken seasoning: In a food processor, combine the lemon peel, garlic, and canola oil. Process into a thick paste.
- Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Use your fingers to carefully separate the skin from the breasts and thighs. Rub the lemon garlic paste over the bird, making sure to get some under the skin. Rub the softened butter underneath and over the skin. Season on both sides with the salt and za'atar. Place the chicken on the rack set over the baking sheet, breast-side up.
- Roast the chicken for 40-50 minutes, until the breast meat reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Roast until the thigh meat, near the bones, reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the rice pilaf: Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under running water until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a medium bowl and cover with water by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Soak for 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock to a small pot and bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low so the stock stays warm.
- In a large pot or pan over medium heat, combine the butter, garlic, and fideo. Cook, stirring constantly, until most of the noodles are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the rice once the noodles are toasted, then add to the pan and sauté until the rice is dry and coated with the butter, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the hot chicken stock, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the noodles curl up, about 15 minutes. Fluff the pilaf with a fork, then cover again and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Make the za'atar oil: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, za'atar, and salt.
- Carve the chicken, then arrange over the rice pilaf and spoon the za'atar oil over. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
- Enjoy!

AFGHAN RICE PILAF WITH CHICKEN AND YOGURT - BOR PILAU
This recipe comes from Helen Saberi's book - The Afghan Food & Cookery. Pilaf or pilau is a classic Afghan dish. The use of yogurt is also classic and it makes a delicious sauce. Ground red pepper is commonly found in North African & some Asian dishes, if you cannot find it use hot paprika or a mix of regular paprika with a little cayenne added.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet.
- When hot, add enough of the oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Heat the oil to almost smoking.
- Add the chicken pieces in batches and brown over medium-high heat until golden, about 5 minutes per side, adding more oil as needed.
- As the chicken browns, transfer the finished pieces to 2 large baking pans.
- Drizzle liberally with lemon juice.
- If necessary, carefully drain some of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 or 2 tablespoons in the pan.
- Reheat the oil, and add the lemon zest, oregano and onions, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Saute the onions for 5 minutes, then add the bell peppers and saute until softened, about 5 minutes longer.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring, until all of the grains are coated with oil, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the broth and water and bring to a boil.
- (If using unsalted broth, season with salt to taste at this point or the cooked rice will be bland.) Pour the broth and rice mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Cover tightly and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest, still covered, at least 10 minutes before serving.
