Sheet-Pan Chicken With Chickpeas, Cumin and


Turmeric
By Alison Roman

Y I E L D 4 servings

TIME 1 hour, plus marinating

The yogurt marinade does two very important jobs in this sheet-pan chicken recipe. One, the acidity in the marinade
helps tenderize the meat, and two, the sugars in the yogurt help brown and caramelize the skin of the chicken as it
roasts. Be sure to toss the chickpeas occasionally as they roast to encourage them to get coated in the chicken fat as it
renders.
