Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken thighs dry. Mix minced garlic, lemon juice, sumac, paprika, and olive oil in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Toss chicken with the garlic mixture until well coated. Spread on a sheet pan in one layer.

  3. Step 3

    Roast at 425°F for 16–18 minutes, stirring halfway. Chicken is done when edges are charred and internal temp reaches 165°F.
