Add the chicken and turn it over in the pot adding salt, pepper, and allspice to taste**. Cover with water and cook until tender. Cut four onions into smallmedium size pieces. Deep-fry the onions until golden.
After the chicken is done, remove the pieces from the water and place in a grilling pan, adding one onion cut into small pieces with salt, pepper, and “summak”. Grill
in the oven.
To prepare the bread, spread the fried onions (and theiroil) evenly onto the taboun bread. Place the chicken over the bread. Sprinkle with summak. Fried pine seeds
are optional garnish. Serve hot with sour yoghurt and salad.
Taboun bread is the traditional Palestinian bread baked over hot stones. It can be bought at some bakeries and major supermarkets. An adequate replacement is the “Shrak” bread, which is another traditional bread that is extremely thin and baked over a round hot plate.
To give an interesting taste to the chicken, add
cardamom and bay leaves to the water.
