Sumac Chicken

 


Sumac Chicken

Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp. ground sumac, plus more for garnish

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground Aleppo pepper

1 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided

4 (8-oz.) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/2 cup whole-milk strained (Greek-style) yogurt 

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

1 medium garlic clove, grated (1/2 tsp.)

Thinly sliced red onion

Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Grated lemon zest

Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Stir together sumac, garlic powder, cumin, Aleppo pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt. Pat chicken thighs dry using a paper towel. Evenly sprinkle and rub spice mixture onto both sides of thighs.

Add oil to a large ovenproof skillet. Place thighs, skin side down, in cold skillet. Cook over medium, undisturbed, until skin easily releases from skillet and is deeply golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Flip thighs, and transfer skillet to oven; bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of thighs registers 165, 10 to 13 minutes.

Stir together yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Spread yogurt mixture evenly over a platter, and place thighs on top. Garnish with red onion, parsley, zest, and additional sumac.
