Season the chicken generously with salt. Mix together 3 tablespoons za’atar, the sumac and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until lightly browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until lightly browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the red onion to the pan. Cook until lightly browned and tender, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the raisins and couscous and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and parsley, then return the chicken to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the couscous is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
