Ground paprika

1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Combine half of the lemon juice with the sumac and paprika in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and set aside.

Notes

Popular in Middle Eastern cooking, sumac is a ground, purple-red spice with a pleasant tangy flavour. It is available in the spice section of the supermarket.
