Sumac-roasted Chicken Traybake

This middle eastern inspired sumac roasted chicken recipe is bursting with flavours. A delicious traybake that the whole family will enjoy. Don't skip the yoghurt sauce, which is is a key component of the dish, adding a cooling contrast to the well-spiced chicken. You can either drizzle the yoghurt dressing over the chicken or plate the chicken on top of the sauce and sprinkle with extra sumac if desired.
Sumac has a tangy, citrusy, and slightly sour taste with fruity undertones. It's often compared to lemon juice and zest due to its tartness, but it's a bit milder and more complex.

	Yoghurt Dressing
8 Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on 2 tbsp Olive oil Sea salt and black pepper 2 tsp Chilli flakes 1 1/2 tbsp Sumac ©angiesrecipes 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon 1 tbsp Ground cumin Chopped dill, to garnish	200 g Full fat Greek yoghurt 2 tbsp Lemon juice 1 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped 1 Garlic clove, minced ¼ tsp Sea salt

Heat the oven to 180C/350F. Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil and season well.
Mix the chilli flakes, sumac, cinnamon and cumin together then rub the chicken with the spices. Put onto a large baking tray and roast for an hour until the chicken is tender.
Whisk the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the chicken drizzled with the dressing and garnish with chopped dill and additional sumac if desired.
