Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Mix sumac, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 2
Rub the sumac mixture all over both sides of the chicken thighs, pressing gently so it adheres.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Sear chicken 4 minutes per side without moving—edges should look golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and serve hot, or let cool for a cold salad later.
