Raw chicken pieces roasted in the oven on (or next to) pitas with onion fried in olive oil and sumac, scattered with pine nuts or almonds. Based on the recipes themselves here, with no verified source.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
