Equipment:

• Cast iron skillet or dutch oven

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 lbs Chicken Legs or 1 1/2 lbs of Chicken Thigh

• Salt

• 3 tbsp Sumac

• 1 tsp Cardamom

• 1 tsp Cumin

• 3 Onions, sliced into strips

What’s Next:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the chicken with salt

2. Mix the sumac, cardamom and cumin together. Sprinkle and rub 2/3 of the mix onto the chicken, make sure to work into the meat

3. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in the cast iron over medium heat. Cook the chicken and turn occasionally (careful oil might splatter!), until all sides are golden brown

4. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate. Scrap off as much brown bits as possible but leave the oil in the pan

5. Cook the onions into the same pan, splash some water if the pan gets dry. Cook until the onions are 10-15 minutes until golden brown

6. Add the rest of the spice mix into the cast iron, stir frequently until fragrant. Add a splash of water and season with salt. Return the chicken into the cast iron and transfer to oven

7. Bake for 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the liquid has mostly evaporated
