on Nov 04, 2015, Updated Apr 19, 2021 I was supposed to bring you this easy 10 ingredient Sumac Chicken recipe a few days ago, because it’s the last thing I made for Denver before I came down to Raipur to meet my parents. But I got here, and fell horribly sick. In fact I’m still sniffling and coughing, which sucks, because I haven’t been able to enjoy my visit at all so far. But I’m on meds, and hopefully will be better by the time Diwali comes. In the meanwhile, I have some fantastic news to share with all of you. I’ve been nominated for the India Food Blogger Awards this year and My Food Story has been shortlisted under two categories – Best Recipe Blog and Best General Food Blog. There was some furious voting that happened in the last couple of days and I’m awaiting results, with my fingers crossed. You guys have a huge part to play in this, and whether I win or not, the support that I’ve received in the last week from friends, family and my readers is enough to make me feel like a winner already! And that’s what counts right? I’ve been living on khichdi for the last few days, but that shouldn’t stop us from talking about and drooling all over this chicken right? Because Sumac, where have you been all my life? Why was I so ignorant of your existence? Because you are the most versatile, tangy, lemony spice I have in my spice cupboard right now. It’s a middle eastern herb that is now easily available in India at most speciality stores and I’m already dangerously close to finishing the entire bottle I bought only a few weeks ago! What I love the most about this recipe is that it’s EASY. As easy as mixing a few things together, rubbing them on the chicken and cooking it in the same pan! I love recipes like these, because who has the time these days? Between finishing up last minute work, picking clothes from the dry cleaners, making sure the fridge was well stocked for Denver while I was away and packing (ugh) there was hardly any time for elaborate dinners! And this chicken seriously SAVED me. And one day, it’ll save you too. So this recipe is a MUST SAVE. And the flavours are phenomenal. The sumac is lemony and tangy. I added a whole head of garlic, and some quartered onions which caramelized and stuck to the pan. Yay sticky, crispy, pan scrapings! The sliced lemons are bitter on their own, but when rubbed on the chicken, the juices make the sumac flavours jump out even more. Guys I am a sick, bed ridden person right now, but this is so simple that I can make this in my sleep! So you gotta try it, and tell me what you think? Are you going to make this as is, or are you planning to make variations? Because I love hearing all about your little experiments. So go ahead, leave me a comment, send me a picture and let’s swap some Sumac stories over some of this Easy 10 Ingredient Sumac Chicken!
