Notes

Sumac has a tangy, lemony flavor that pairs well with grilled meats. If you can't find it at your local grocery store, it's available online or at Middle Eastern markets.

Embark on a culinary journey to the Middle East with our Sumac-infused Chicken Kebabs. These mouthwatering skewers are a testament to the power of simple ingredients when combined with the right spices. The star of this dish, sumac, is a tangy, lemony spice often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. If you're new to this exotic ingredient, our guide on sumac and other unique condiments is a great place to start.

Our recipe calls for boneless chicken thighs, which are marinated in a sumac-infused mixture before being grilled to perfection. The result is a dish that's bursting with flavor, with a hint of smokiness from the grill. If you're a fan of sauces, consider pairing these kebabs with one of the 10 must-try chicken sauces we've curated for a flavorful dinner.

While our recipe suggests marinating the chicken for at least 2 hours, we recommend leaving it overnight if time allows. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the meat, resulting in a more flavorful dish. If you're looking for more marinade inspiration, check out these simple chicken marinades.
