    Glad to see you're all enjoying the recipe! Here's some more tips that make this recipe easier:
    1- If your butcher can debone the chicken, it will make your life a lot easier
    2- If you've just bought your chicken and it has never been frozen, you can freeze it after deboning to speed things up
    3- When you need to cook more than 1 chicken in your oven, you can cook all of them on the underside at different levels of the oven, then put them in 1 by 1 for a final sear!
    Finally the recipe for the chilli sauce is here: ua-cam.com/video/ifOlf3COK4s/v-deo.html

      Could be a little easier to flatten the chicken without taking the bones out, not quite the same as spatchcocking but still encourages even cooking and saves a bit of time. Lady and pups has a few vids on this

    I'm happy to have found your channel, I've been watching a lot of your videos and will try some recipes soon (probably the toum garlic sauce). I find a lot of cooking youtubers can be a bit hard to watch, as they always try to be overly funny and act unnatural which can be off putting. I appreciate your natural presentation style, clear instructions and well composed shots. Subscribed and looking forward to more quality content.

    you are the goat. haha took me over an hour to debone the chicken first time. luckily my butcher is happy to do this for me. deboning was tough, but I'm sure with practice, it would become a lot quicker.

    Naghmieh Batmanglij's Food of Life has a wonderful chicken marinade that has become my go-to. For 1 whole chicken, add about 2 tbsp sumac, 2 tbsp capers, 1/4c pitted and chopped dates, 3 Tbsp pomegranate molasses, 1 squeezed lime. When cooked over a charcoal barbecue it gets a deep red color reminiscent of a slow hickory smoke, and it's sweet, salty, tangy, and incredibly satisfying.

    do these smaller chickens feed 1 or 2 people?

      1-2 people per chicken. If I'm hungry 1 chicken is a good size, otherwise I can share it

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    - Introduction to the recipe and its key takeaways
    - The chicken undergoes a process called masahab where it is deboned before marinating
    - The result is juicy, flavorful, and tender grilled chicken
    - The deboning process is essential for even cooking and flavor absorption
    - The lack of bones allows for a quicker cook time and even cooking
    - The marinade tenderizes the meat and increases surface area for flavor absorption
    - The marinade contains onions, which break down protein and tenderize the meat
    - The oven grilling technique produces the best results for this recipe
    - Boneless chicken breast or thighs can be substituted, but skin is recommended
    - The deboning process is completed by removing excess skin and trimming the chicken tenders
    - The breast can be butterflied or cut to allow for better marinade penetration
    - The carcass and leg bones can be used for chicken stock, minimizing waste
    - The first marinade is made with onions, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, black pepper, chili powder, salt, and white vinegar
    - The marinade is blended until the onions are broken down, ensuring even flavor distribution
    - The chicken is marinated for at least an hour, but three to twelve hours is recommended for optimal flavor penetration
    - The second marinade is made with onions, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, and pomegranate molasses
    - The marinade is blended until smooth and the chicken is marinated for the same amount of time as the first marinade
    - The pomegranate molasses adds a unique sweetness and depth of flavor to the chicken
    - A grilling basket or wire rack is used to prevent the chicken from falling apart during cooking
    - The chicken is grilled in the oven or on a grill, with the skin side up for the final six minutes
    - A thermometer is used to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
    - The grilled chicken is served with a red onion and parsley salad, garlic and chili sauces, and flatbread
    - The pomegranate marinade chicken develops a caramelized skin that adds sweetness and texture
    - The chicken is juicy, flavorful, and tender, with the marinade enhancing the natural flavors of the meat

    Just found this channel recently and love the videos, keep up the good work! I was wondering if you would be interested in covering chicken or lamb mandi from Yemen as it is one of my favourite Arab dishes. Much love

    Never heard anyone refer to this as Musahab, that's usually what we call pulled chicken.
