One-Pan-Sumac-Chicken-Thighs-recipeTurkey day is a few days away and I’m very excited to see a lot of awesome turkey recipes. My problem is- I never cook turkey! But I’d like to try and roast a whole turkey myself. So this year I might try this. Will let you know how it turns.

On Thanksgiving I’m usually in charge of desserts and casseroles, so turkey seems like rocket science to me! I’ve roasted whole chickens a ton of times! Wish me luck!

Back on the chicken thighs. I’ve been thinking and even chatting with a fellow blogger, why the foods we eat the most are rarely posted on our blogs? Like this chicken? Roasted chicken thighs with veggies, potatoes or rice are meals I cook a lot and my family loves. But I rarely post these dishes. I often share my protein bowl creations, salads, drinks and desserts.

I’ll make it an effort to share more simple recipes like this one pan sumac chicken thighs, because they require minimal effort, have amazing taste and flavor and take less than 1 hour to cook.

I chose bone-in chicken thighs, because meat cooked on a bone always tastes better.

The skin turns very crispy, while the meat stays juicy and flavorful.

If you haven’t tried sumac, you definitely should. You can read more about it here. You can get it at spice shops or online. Sumac is a great seasoning for all kinds of meat and you can use it to top hummus. It has a nice lemony flavor. It is one of the main spices in the za’atar mix.

Keep in mind that there are different kinds of sumac and you should get the edible one. I used to bring another kind of sumac from Europe, which is not edible and I used as an antiseptic. You don’t want this one.

Sumac, garlic, orange juice, thyme, chicken – this is pretty much what you need to create these one pan sumac chicken thighs.

Have a great weekend!
