A delightful sheet-pan recipe featuring sumac-spiced chicken thighs and Yukon Gold potatoes, perfect for a family meal.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground sumac
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sumac, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the marinade. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  4. On a large baking sheet, arrange the sliced onions and potato wedges in a single layer, drizzling them lightly with olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Lay the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side facing up.
  6. Transfer the sheet pan to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is crispy.
  7. If using pine nuts, add them to the pan during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  8. Once finished, take the pan out of the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste.
  • Pine nuts can be omitted if desired.
