Sumac Chicken

Sumac Chicken is a vibrant, tangy dish that captures the essence of Lebanese cuisine. Grilled to perfection, this dairy-free meal bursts with flavor and makes for a delightful BBQ experience.

Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 400 grams
• Sumac - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic cloves - 3, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine sumac, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the chicken is nicely charred.
5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with your choice of sides.
