This chicken dish is absolutely delectable with a refreshing sour flavor. The original recipe contained twice the amount of garlic, but we reduced the amount a little bit. Adjust it according to your own preference.

8 SERVINGS

INGREDIENTS 

• 4-6 cloves of garlic, grated
• 2 ½ cups (593 ml) olive oil
• 1 cup (237 ml) lemon juice
• 3 large liba or pita breads
• Butter for the dish
• Salt
• 2 whole chickens, each cut into 8 pieces
• Almost 2 cups (about 300 g) sliced yellow onions
• 4 cups (125 g) chopped coriander leaves
• 3 tablespoons walnuts
• 3 tablespoons sumac

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk together garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice for a marinade.
2. Cut half of the pita breads into pieces, and use them to cover the bottom of a greased ovenproof dish.
3. Salt the chicken pieces and spread them and the onions on top of the bread layer.
4. Mix coriander, walnuts, and sumac with the marinade and pour it over the chicken.
5. Cover the chicken with the remaining bread, and bake at 450°F (225°C), until the chicken is cooked, about 40 minutes. If the bread gets too much color, you can cover the dish with aluminum foil.
6. Serve warm.
