Video: Roast Chicken With Plums
In this recipe for roast chicken, Melissa Clark uses sumac as part of a garlicky spice rub to season the birds (there are two), along with allspice, cinnamon and black pepper.I am hungry enough that most spices do not make it into the food.
I am willing to use them but it is not automatic for me to reach for the spice rack.
