Bereiding

  1. Season the chicken

    • Place the trimmed chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl.
    • Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt, black pepper and lemon juice.
    • Stir in the yogurt to tenderize the chicken and boost flavor.
    Stap 1
  2. Add the spices

    • Add the dried thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Aleppo pepper, cayenne, turmeric, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg.
    • Mix thoroughly so the chicken is evenly coated.
    Stap 2
  3. Marinate

    • Mix in the thinly sliced red onion.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight; longer marinating deepens the flavor.
    Stap 3
  4. Bring to room temperature and preheat

    • Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes before cooking.
    • Preheat the oven to 218 °C (425 °F).
    Stap 4
  5. Bake

    • Pack the marinated chicken and onion tightly into a loaf pan.
    • Bake uncovered until fully cooked and deeply golden on top.
    Stap 5
  6. Drain and slice

    • Remove the pan from the oven and tilt it over a bowl to drain the excess juices, keeping the liquid for drizzling or broth.
    • Flip the chicken loaf onto a cutting board and slice into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
    Stap 6
  7. Serve

    • Serve as-is, in a salad, in a grain bowl or wrapped in pita.
    • For crispier edges, broil the sliced chicken on a sheet pan for 2-3 minutes before serving.
