Prep your chicken 1 day ahead of time by making your marinade: add the olive oil, lime juice, ginger, turmeric, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and sumac into a small bowl and whisk until everything is combined.
Wash the chicken and pat it dry and put in a Ziploc bag or a glass jar and add all of the marinade. Close the bag and massage (or shake) until every piece of chicken is covered with the marinade. Put chicken in the fridge and let marinate for at least 24 hours.
The next day when you are ready to cook your chicken pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a deep baking dish with parchment paper.
Pour the chicken plus marinade into the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 2 hours (uncovered).
When cooked remove from the baking dish and put on a serving platter, drizzle some of the pan juices on the chicken thighs & and serve with your sides of choice, such as quinoa, sauteed vegetables, or rice!
