Method

step 1
Season the chicken thighs (1 pack) with salt and pepper and rub all over with the sumac (2 tsp). Spray with the air fryer oil (as needed), then pop them in the air fryer at 200°C for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6 for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
step 2
While the chicken is cooking, combine the extra virgin olive oil (6 tbsp), pomegranate molasses (1 tbsp), lemon juice (1), apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp) and sumac (1 tsp) in a clean jam jar and season with salt and pepper. Shake to combine, then taste and adjust as needed to get the right level of sweetness, saltiness and acidity.
step 3
To prep the salad, wash and roughly chop the romaine lettuce (1), discarding the core and any tough outer leaves. Trim and halve the radishes (100 g) and halve the tomatoes (150 g). Slice the cucumbers (150 g) lengthways, then slice into half-moons. Thinly slice the spring onions (3), parsley (5 g) and mint (5 g). Add all the chopped veg to a bowl, reserving some of the fresh herbs to garnish, and drizzle with most of the dressing.
step 4
Cut the pitta (2) into strips, then place in the air fryer and spray with a little more air fryer oil. Air fry for 5 minutes at 200°C, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6 for 10 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp.
step 5
Slice the chicken and toss through the salad along with most of the crispy pitta chips. Arrange on a big platter or in a serving bowl and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Scatter with more fresh herbs and top with the pomegranate rubies (2 tbsp) and the remaining pitta chips. Serve with the crunchy pitta chips on top and an extra sprinkling of sumac, if you like.
