Roasted Chicken with Sumac

Ingredients

• •1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into pieces
• •3 tablespoons sumac
• •4 cloves garlic, minced
• •1/4 cup olive oil
• •2 tablespoons lemon juice
• •1 teaspoon ground cumin
• •1 teaspoon paprika
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1 large onion, sliced

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 2In a bowl, mix together sumac, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
3. 3Arrange chicken pieces and sliced onion in a large roasting pan.
4. 4Rub the sumac mixture generously over all chicken pieces, coating well.
5. 5Roast uncovered for 35-40 minutes until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, basting halfway through cooking.
6. 6Let rest for 5 minutes before serving with pan juices drizzled over top.

💡 Sumac tastes brightest when some is reserved for finishing. Long roasting softens its tart edge and can make the chicken seem less distinctive.
