Sumac Roast Chicken

Regulate Blood Sugar Levels During Ramadan With Sumac Roast Chicken


Chef Christopher Kinsley, Head Chef at Flow Jumeirah Emirates Towers, says that during the month of Ramadan, chicken is important as the proteins are lean and readily available. "This means they replenish our muscles after a day of fasting and keep us from losing any all-important muscle mass," he says. "The sumac here is also great for regulating blood sugar levels which is essential when breaking fast as blood sugar levels can spike and crash causing cravings."
