I discovered summac only one year ago and I can really say that it was really delicious in this recipe.<br/>After this treatment (rub and marinate for 3 hours) the chicken resulted tender and really tasty.<br/>I barbequed it using wood as I find that this still gives the best taste.<br/>Thanks a lot for your recipe!

Extremely tasty chicken! Needs sufficient salt, 2 teaspoons was good for us. Served with Harissa Yogurt Sauce, yum!

This is awesome. I love Middle Eastern food and this has a really authentic taste. Very easy to prepare, and good with any cut of chicken; I have used breast fillets, drumsticks and thighs and they are all yummy. Thanks!

this was tasty and so simple! i did it in my convection oven since it's not yet bbq season here, but this will be part of my warm weather repertoire later this year. i used skinless boneless chicken thighs and they worked fine. also used granulated toasted onion instead of the grated due to my overly sensitive eyes. thanks for the recipe!
