Method
- Combine the onion, orange, lemon, sumac, allspice, cinnamon, chicken stock and olive oil in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken pieces or poussin in a large baking tray and leave to marinate for at least an hour, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 180C, Gas 4. Roast the chicken or poussin for 45 mins, until cooked-through and golden. If using a chicken it will need around an hour and a half.
- Mix the yogurt and citrus zests together, then season to taste.
- Five minutes before the end of cooking brush the flatbreads with the olive oil, sprinkle over the zaatar and bake in the oven for 5mins, until golden.
- To serve, pile the onions on top of the flatbreads, drizzle with the cooking juices and top with the chicken. Serve the citrus yogurt on the side, along with pomegranate seeds and mint leaves.
