Who this list is for

How to use this list
Start by checking your kitchen for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, large yellow onions, and flatbreads. Gather olive oil, sumac, ground allspice, cinnamon, pine nuts, a lemon, kosher salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Prep your onions and chicken first, then measure out spices and oil. Toast pine nuts just before serving for best flavor. Use the list to shop efficiently and avoid missing ingredients.
What to skip
Don’t use boneless chicken or skip the skin—the rendered fat adds key flavor. Avoid substituting regular bread for flatbreads, as it won’t hold up under the toppings. Pre-ground sumac is best, but don’t skip it; it’s essential for musakhan’s signature tang. Don’t overload with cinnamon or allspice or the flavor balance will skew sweet.

Day-of
Slice onions ahead of time and let chicken come to room temperature before cooking. Toast pine nuts just before assembling. Warm flatbreads in the oven so they stay pliable.
