Sumac roasted chicken is tender, sweet, slightly sour, flavorful, and hands on time is very minimal.

What is Sumac?I explain here in this post what sumac is and why I love Spice Tribe’s sumac so much.

Sumac is derived from the Aramaic word “dark red” and is from a berry grown in parts of the Middle East. It taste similar to a lemon with a little more sweetness and Spice Tribe’s sumac smells Ah-Mazing. Once you smell Spice Tribes sumac, you can never settle for any other sumac unless you’re physically in the Middle East on a farm and getting it fresh. The smell hits you as soon as you open the bottle as if it was just bottled in front of you. It’s addictive. Spice Tribe as a company is a single origin spice company which prides itself on being ethically responsible and sourced, farmers are paid fair wages and spices are not tampered with.
