• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sumac paste for a few hours or overnight before roasting.
• If you don't have sumac spice, you can substitute it with a combination of lemon zest and paprika for a similar tangy flavor.

• Leftover sumac roast chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the chicken, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
