Palestinian Chicken Recipe
Here’s a great recipe for the holiday weekend Palestinian Chicken from @bingingwithbabish. I’ve wanted to try this since I first saw the episode of Curb.
Ingredients
For the chicken
-
Whole chicken
-
1 cup yogurt
-
2 shallots, finely chopped
-
Lemon zest
-
Juice of half a lemon
-
½ tsp cardamom
-
1 tsp sumac
-
1 bunch dill, chopped
-
A few pinches of kosher salt and pepper
-
A generous drizzle of olive oil
For garlic sauce
- 2 heads garlic
- 1 cup canola oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, shallots, lemon zest and juice, cardamom, sumac, dill, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Set aside.
- Place raw chicken on cutting board. Using a sharp pair of kitchen shears, cut along each side of the spine. Remove the spine. Snip the breast bone and then crack in half so that the chicken lays flat.
- Place chicken into a plastic gallon storage bag. Scoop yogurt marinade into the bag. Seal the bag completely and massage the yogurt marinade into the chicken to ensure it is completely coated.
- Place the plastic bag containing the chicken and its yogurt marinade onto a cooking sheet. Refrigerate overnight.
- Roast in the oven at 450℉ for 45-55 minutes. This is a really great time to make the garlic sauce.
- Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. The skin should be crispy.
- After it is slightly cooled, slice the chicken in half and carve the thigh and drumstick off. Serve with a heaping side of garlic sauce.
For garlic sauce (toum):
- Peel and separate the cloves of 2 heads of garlic. Puree the heads in a food processor. Once they are a paste, add ½ cup of the canola oil very slowly.
- Add the lemon juice and drizzle the remaining canola oil in very slowly. The mixture should be a thick, spreadable paste. Set aside until ready to use
