Directions
| Step 1 |
| For tabbouleh, combine cooked bulgur, parsley, cucumber, tomato, mint, oil, green onion, lemon juice and garlic together in a large bowl until combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. |
| Step 2 |
| For chicken, mix sumac, zaatar, allspice, cardamom, cumin and black pepper together in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture over chicken and under skin. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. |
| Step 3 |

| Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush grates with oil. Grill bell peppers until tender and golden-brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Grill pita until lightly charred, about 1 minute per side. |
| Step 5 |
Decoratively arrange tabbouleh, smoked chicken, grilled peppers, grilled pita, hummus, labneh, olives and cucumber on a large serving platter. Serve and enjoy.
