To Serve

Chicken – Oven

• Preheat your oven to 450° F.
• In the pan in which you plan on cooking the chicken, drizzle half a cup or more of the provided olive oil in a zigzag pattern. Place your chicken skin side down on the pan.
• Season the chicken equally on both sides with approximately three Tbsp of sumac, and 1 Tbsp of salt. Your chicken should be skin side up in the pan and pressed down to make sure it is making full contact with the pan.
• Once your oven has reached 450°F degrees, proceed to cook your chicken. Insert your probe thermometer into the thickest part of the breast (half way through the breast meat) and set it to 150 °F.
• The cooking will take anywhere from 20 minutes if you have a convection oven, to 45 minutes if you have a traditional oven. If you do not have a probe thermometer, plan on checking your temps at 20, 30min, and 45 minutes until you reach 150 °F.
• Serve and enjoy!

Chicken – Grill

• Drizzle half a cup or more of the provided olive oil in a zigzag pattern. Season the chicken equally on both sides with approximately three Tbsp of sumac, and 1 Tbsp of salt.
• If barbecuing you will start skin side up and flip the chicken every 7-8 minutes to avoid charring the skin; this will also assist in evenly cooked meat. Normally you are doing a total of 21-28 minutes or 3-4 sets of 7 minutes.
• Your chicken should be at least 8-12 inches away from the coals for optimum results.
• Always check that your final internal temperature is 160-165°F before serving. Do not be afraid to use your spray bottle to put out any flareups.
• Serve and enjoy!

Vegetables

• Toss the provided vegetables with one Tbsp of olive oil and 1-2 Tsp of salt
• Place in a pan. Roast in the same oven (15-20 min) or grill over the grill until you achieve enough browning.
• Serve and enjoy!

Rice

• Your side of rice should be warmed either in a microwave or in a pot.
• Warm rice all the way through, until nice and fluffy.
• Placed in a serving platter to join the rest.
• Serve and enjoy!
