👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

  1. 1
    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, cumin, turmeric, sumac, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken.
    💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  3. 3
    Scatter the onion over the bottom of the pan.

  4. 4
    Place the chicken on the vegetables, skin side up.
  5. 5
    Bake uncovered 45 minutes, until the chicken is golden.
    ⚙ BakingOvenBaking pan
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  6. 6
    Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat 2–3 minutes, stirring, until they turn golden.
    ⚙ Dry-Pan ToastingStoveFrying pan
    💡Toast over medium heat and keep things moving: nuts, pine nuts and spices go from toasted to burnt in seconds. Transfer to a plate right away, since the hot pan keeps toasting.
  7. 7
    Drizzle the lemon juice over the top.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle the pine nuts over the top.
  9. 9
    Serve with the warm gluten-free bread.
