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

INSTRUCTIONS

- Mix coriander, walnuts, and sumac with the marinade and pour it over the chicken.
