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

  • 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
  1. Heat the oven to 180C/350F. Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil and season well.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    This looks absolutely delicious. I don’t think I have ever had sumac so it would be fun to give it a try.

    A friend just brought me back some beautiful sumac from Turkey, and some from the Middle East. I’m very excited to try both of them and see how they work with this chicken. Thanks, David (C & L)

    Sumac is a spice I only began using in the last few years. It adds a beautiful flavour with a pinch of tartness. I love tray bake dinners, easy to make and easy to clean up.

    Hi Angie, I've never had a dish like this, but I'll definitely make this yogurt sauce. So many regards!

    Traybake - I already like this "term", means fuss-free, easy cooking, same as sheet-pan cooking as the term commonly used here. And yes, lots of yogurt sauce for me, please :)
