TastyReuben help! I want to try this recipe but I'm not sure which sub. would be the best or how much to use.

I found this:

Lemon pepper is great for grilled poultry, but its most popular application is as a seasoning for seafood. In some cases, lemon pepper blends will include garlic so look at the listed ingredients when buying to avoid surprises. Some experts recommend adding a little salt to the lemon pepper when using it as a sumac substitute. When using lemon pepper in place of sumac, use about one and a half times the amount that your recipe requires for sumac.

I also found a substitute from Rachel Ray, of all people, where she zests an entire lemon, adds a tablespoon of black pepper, and a teaspoon of salt. She doesn't say so explicitly, but it sounds like that would be substituted one-for-one.

I should point out that I've never used sumac, so I can't speak from personal experience.

You are the bestest! Thank you!
 
I made this. None of the pictures came out well. I couldn't get the chicken to brown so I set it to broil for five minutes which didn't work. I made wild rice with it which was a nice accompaniment. I liked it.

Did you blot the chicken dry? Mine browned quite nicely.

Yes, I did. I think my blunder was setting it to 350 F instead of 375 F. It's the only thing I can think of.

ETA: It's a horrible picture but you can see that it's not browned.

Thank you for trying out the recipe. Were these 'skin on' chicken pieces? If not, that would account for them not browning.

By the way, I didn't take this photo. My caregiver has an Apple phone. She took it. I have no idea why it's so awful but I've never asked to check the settings on her phone. Mine decided to cover everything in a shade of blue. ;-0
