Smoked Middle Eastern Chicken Mezze Platter

Directions

Step ONE
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 TWO
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 THREE
Prepare a smoker with Applewood chips. Smoke chicken at 250°F until chicken is fully cooked and reaches 170°F, about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Transfer to a plate and cover with aluminum foil and let rest.
Step FOUR
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 FIVE
Decoratively arrange tabbouleh, smoked chicken, grilled peppers, grilled pita, hummus, labneh, olives and cucumber on a large serving platter. Serve and enjoy.
