    Can substitute this book's "Seven-spice mix (Saba'a baharat)" for ground allspice, and this book's "Saj bread (Khobz saj)" for flour tortillas.

    I did this quite differently and made burritos out of them! I used the toum, spiced rice and saj bread to come with it. The musakhan itself was pretty easy to put together and pretty tasty in itself! The recipe said 6 cups of onions = 2 whole onions and i honestly dont think it yielded that much. I even used pretty big ones. That being said, I think 2 big onions is fine, i put half to bake with the chicken and half to caramelize in the pan. It was nice. But as a burrito, it was great!

    Very tasty! Loved how forgiving chicken thighs were. After 55 min in the oven they were over 200 degrees, yet were perfectly tender and delish! I only marinated the chicken for an hour before roasting and it was still great and I don’t see a need to go longer since you wind up shredding the chicken in all the juices anyway. Used flour tortillas and added a smear of Greek yogurt. Many other things would be just as tasty wrapped in here.

    This chicken was nice and while we made wraps according to the recipe, I found that it also paired nicely with the wheat berry fava bean dish that seemed it could use some more interesting elements.
