MUSSAKHAN (ROAST CHICKEN WITH SUMAC AND RED ONIONS)
Among Palestinians, mussakhan is a beloved roast chicken dish, at once energetic and comforting. In this recipe, adapted from Yasmin Khan's "Zaitoun: Recipes From the Palestinian Kitchen," you'll rub chicken thighs and drumsticks with spices, painting the skin a sumac-stained fuchsia. Marinate the meat with red onion for a few hours before roasting them in the oven, where the onions caramelize and absorb the chicken's fragrant juices. It's an ideal dish to share, one torn apart with your hands and topped with fried pine nuts, parsley and a generous dusting of sumac. Ms. Khan serves the chicken on toasted naan or taboon bread, which soak up the juices, but it's equally appealing alongside a salad or over a bed of rice.

Steps:
- Slash the flesh of each piece of chicken diagonally a few times, around 3/4 inch apart, and then place the meat in a large bowl or plastic container. Add the lemon juice; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 1/2 tablespoons sumac; the garlic, cumin, allspice and cinnamon; and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub the mixture into the meat. Add the red onion and toss to coat. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate, 1 to 3 hours.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Transfer the meat, onion slices and any juices to a baking sheet and roast until the juices run clear when the chicken pieces are pierced at their thickest part, about 40 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, cover the baking sheet tightly in foil and set aside while you prepare the toppings.
- In a small skillet, cook the pine nuts in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then transfer to a paper towel to drain.
- To serve, heat the naan or taboon bread in the oven until toasted and warmed and transfer to a platter. Arrange the chicken and red onion on top. Finish with a smattering of pine nuts, sumac and chopped parsley. Drizzle any remaining roasting juices so they soak into the bread, then drizzle with a little more olive oil.

SUMAC ROAST CHICKEN
Sumac has a lemony, savory flavor, perfect for complementing roast chicken. It may be hard for some to find it (or forage it) fresh, but dried sumac, which is what this recipe calls for, is a fine replacement. Plus, learn Chef Berglund's tricks for crisping chicken skin in the oven!

Steps:
- Preparation: Lay the chicken breast side up. Being careful not to tear the skin, separate it from the flesh by easing your finger underneath the skin. Gently work your fingers as far up the breast meat as you can, then as far down the legs as you can. (This separation will allow for crisper skin during roasting.) Then dry the chicken thoroughly with paper towels.
- Seasoning: Salt the chicken all over, lightly on the wings and heavier on the breasts, legs, and thighs. Sprinkle about ½ teaspoon inside the cavity. Then liberally season the chicken all over with sumac in an even layer, sprinkling some inside the cavity as well. Liberally grind pepper over the chicken. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 3 hours. After 3 hours, remove chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Roasting: Thoroughly dry the chicken again with paper towels, inside and out. Twist and tuck the wing tips under the chicken for even cooking. Over high heat, preheat a cast-iron skillet that is just big enough for the chicken to fit in. If you don't have cast-iron, use a heavy-bottomed stainless steel pan. (If you're using stainless steel, add a bit of vegetable oil to the pan right before adding the chicken.) When the skillet is very hot, turn heat to medium and add the chicken, breast side down. Turn heat back to high and cook for about 30 seconds; then place the skillet in the oven. Cook for 30 minutes. (Total roasting time will be about 1 hour.)
- Resting: After 30 minutes, remove skillet from the oven. Use tongs and a meat fork to flip the chicken over so it is breast side up. Place back in the oven and cook for another 25-30 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the middle of the breast reads 150-155 degrees F. (Note: Chef Berglund prefers his chicken slightly under the USDA-recommended temperature of 165 degrees F. The temperature will continue to rise a bit as the chicken rests after roasting.) Remove chicken from the pan and let rest before carving, breast side up and loosely covered with aluminum foil, 30-35 minutes.
- Carving: Slice the skin between each leg and breast to loosen the leg portions, but allow them to stay attached. Turn the cavity away from you; then slice alongside either side of the breast plate to the joint between the wing and the carcass. Remove the breast and wing on one side, then the other. Flip the chicken over, cut around the leg and thigh, and remove. Repeat with the other leg and thigh. (Optional: Cut the leg and thigh into two pieces, then cut each breast into two pieces.) Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the BBQ sauce:
- Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until all the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the chicken or steak:
- Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Lightly coat with some of the BBQ sauce using a pastry brush. Place the meat on the grill. Place the remaining BBQ sauce, still in the small saucepan, over low heat or on the edge of a gas or charcoal grill and allow to gently simmer while the meat cooks.
- Cook the chicken about 8 minutes per side. Cook the steaks starting at about 4 minutes per side until a meat thermometer reads the desired temperature, 120 degrees F for medium rare, 135 degrees F for medium (about 6 minutes per side), 155 degrees F for well done (about 9 minutes per side). Continually brush the meat with BBQ sauce every few minutes. Remove the meat from the grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve with the heated BBQ sauce alongside.
- Alternately, the chicken can be baked in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the chicken skin side up in a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and spoon the BBQ sauce all over the top of the chicken. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic powder, 1 tablespoon sumac, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, a few cracks of pepper, the zest of 2 lemons, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 1/2 cup of the olive oil.
- Pat the chicken dry and cut each breast in half horizontally. Add to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
- Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion in a colander or sieve inside of another large bowl to drain any excess liquid from the tomatoes. Season with salt and toss to combine.
- In a large mason jar, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon sumac, juice of 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and 1/2 cup olive oil. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and shake to combine.
- Grill the chicken over high heat until grill marks form and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- Add the pita chips to the dressing if there's room in the jar and shake to combine. Otherwise, toss the pita chips with the dressing in a medium bowl.
- Wipe out the tomato juices from the large bowl, add the salad, parsley, pita chips, and dressing, and toss to combine.
- To plate, top the grilled chicken with fattoush and enjoy!

Steps:
- For the brine, in a mixing bowl combine the water, salt, sugar, garlic, and thyme. Transfer the brine to a 2-gallon sized re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, close the bag and refrigerate 2 hours (if you've only got 15 minutes, that's fine) to allow the salt and seasonings to penetrate the chicken.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the bunch of thyme and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook slowly 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly without coloring for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Once the sauce is done cooking, remove about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and reserve for serving along side the chicken at the table. The rest of the barbecue sauce will be used for basing the legs.
- Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
- Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue to a medium heat. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface. Take the chicken out of the brine, pat it dry on paper towels. Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook, turn once mid-way, and cook for a total of 10 minutes. Transfer the grill marked chicken to a cookie sheet and then place in the oven. Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and then brush liberally, coating every inch of the legs with the barbecue sauce and then return to the oven for 25 to 30 more minutes, basting the chicken for a second time half way through remaining cooking time. Serve with extra sauce.
