Grilled Baby Chicken

In the summer, I prefer to spend less time in the kitchen, and my kids enjoy lighter meals after
playing in the heat. This dish is the perfect balance between light and filling, and the best part is
serving it as DIY pita sandwiches, which makes the kids feel like they prepared it themselves.

Directions

Prepare the Sumac Onions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Toss the onions well to ensure that they’re evenly coated. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Prepare the Chicken

  1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl or ziplock bag. Add the chicken. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 10 hours.

  2. Preheat grill to medium-high or oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).

  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.

  4. Grill Method: Grill the chicken for eight minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).

  5. Oven Method: Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes on each side, until fully cooked.

  6. Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  7. Serve the grilled chicken with pita, sumac onions, salad, techinah, pickles, and whatever other toppings you like.
