Then putting it in a large baking pan in the oven, with the onion and sumac mix on the bottom of the pan, the chicken on top of that, then layering the marquq bread on top of this. Then you bake it for like two hours, and it doesn't say, but you turn the whole thing upside down, with bread on the bottom when you start to serve. Garnish with pine nuts on top.
The other is more the traditional way (I think?), where the chicken mix is boiled down on top of the stove, and the onion and sumac seperately, then the bread layered on the serving tray on the bottom, and the sumac/onion mix and chicken put on top.
Can anyone tell me if the oven method is better? I heard the chicken would be more tender? Ladies--what's the best way to go?
Any help appreciated! I have Pali-Lebanese friends coming for dinner.
Thanks!

I Believe chicken will be fine in the secod way, yani when we do musakhkhan we do it in the secod way (and even after boiling chicken we put it in the oven for few min. (or grill it)).
If you don't like the spreaded bread, you might make it as rolls stuffed with onion & pine seeds, then put in oven for few min., and serve chicken aside.
A real musakhkhan should be full of olive oil or o.o. as Rachel says in her prog (Rachel Ray).

I've never complained about my pain and suffer to anyone but God.
He is the cure of my pain
Who are you comparing to him, you're not even a breeze comparing to him

Hello!

I have a request! Could somebody please write this story with Arabic letters? [when you have time and mood, of course ]

Here it is:

Fi yawm min ilayyam kan fi ingleezee aja lilbilad min shan yata3allam 3arabiyy. Sajjal inno fi madrasat illughat fi wasat il3aseema wa ballash illugha il3arabiyya ilfus7a wa kaman il3amiyya!

"Tafaddal! Ba7ibb usa3ido, miskeen.”
„Leesh ma nattafi2 ma3 nas, yu3ud 3indhum sitt ush-hur aw sana wa ma yi7kee ma3hum ila 3arabiyy. Hayk lazim yita3allam, ghasban 3anno!”

„Ahlan! Ya3teek il3afya!”
„Allah yizeedak 3afya, ya ustaz! Ahlan wa sahlan! Kayf 7al janabak?"
„Allah yi7fazak! Kayf si77atak?”

„Ma3loom, ba3arifo!”
„Wayno halla2?”
„He’s just around the corner, in the fish-and-chips shop!”

Here's what I've done...

Fi yawm min ilayyam kan fi ingleezee aja lilbilad min shan yata3allam 3arabiyy. Sajjal inno fi madrasat illughat fi wasat il3aseema wa ballash illugha il3arabiyya ilfus7a wa kaman il3amiyya!

في يوم من الأيام،كان في انجليزي اجا البلاد من شان يتعلم عربي، سجل إنو في مدرسة اللغات في وسط العاصمة وبلش اللغة العربية الفصحى وكمان العامية! بعد إسبوع شافو إنو مش عم بتقدم أبدا. ما كان يعرف يكتب ولا يقرا. وبالنسبة للحكي ما قدر يلفظ حتى أبسط الكلمات، لهاللسبب شاف مدير المدرسة إنو لازم يغير البرنامج شوي، من شان يساعد الشب المسكين. حرام إنو ييجي من لندن ويدفع حق تذكرة الطيارة ورسوم المدرسة بالإضافة لتكاليف كل يوم، يعني حق الأكل والشرب والنوم وبعد كل هادا ما يتعلم شي! فالمدير اتفق مع الاستاذ تبعو على تغيير البرنامج على اساس ترك الفصحى والتركيز عالعامية.

جربو البرنامج الجديد شهر كامل ، بس... بدون فائدة. الشاب ما تعلم...قول ، ما تعلم شي ، ما قدر يحكي أكتر من كلمتين ، تلاتة، حقيقة ، عربي مكسر تماماً. الاستاذ رجع للمدير و قالو :"يا حضرة المدير ، تسمح لي أقول لك : هالشاب الانجليزي الي عندي بالصف ما بيسوى بالمرة ، أحسن يرجع لبلدو. ما فيش فائدة ، أبداً. لو ضل كمان عشرين سنة بالمدرسة مش ممكن يتعلم يحكي عربي ! صدقني!"
"طيب ، بقدّر موقفك ، بس شو نعمل؟"
"أنا بقول لك شو. عندي اقتراح. ان شاء الله بيعجبك"
"تفضل! بحب اساعدو، مسكين."
"ليش ما نتفق مع ناس ، يعد عندهم 6 شهور او سنة و ما يحكي معهم الا عربي. هيك لازم يتعلم، غصب عنو!"
"فكرة ممتازة ، بس وين ؟ بتعرف حدا؟"
"نعم عندي قرايب ساكنين في شمال البلد ، يمكن 400 ميل من هون ، جماعة كبيرة ، كتير طيبين وما في ولا واحد منهم بيعرف انجليزي"
"عال! ممكن تدبر طريقة منشان يعد عندهم ؟ و مندفع اللي لازم ، و منشوف."
"منتكل على الله! و بعدين اتفقو مع هالاستاذ."

HERE IS THE REST !

و هم استقبلو الشاب في الضيعة و دبّرولو غرفتين في بيت ابن عم الاستاذ. هادا حصل في آخر السنة و بعد 6 أشهر ، يعني في الصيف، مدير المدرسة بعت الاستاذ بالضيعة منشان يسأل عن الشاب و يشوف اذا بدو شي.
بعد ساعة بالطيارة و ساعتين بالباص الصغير الي بيمشي على الخط بين الضيعة و مركز المحافظة ، الاستاذ وصل حامد شاكر لأول الضيعة. لما نزل من الباص شاف فلّاح عم بيشتغل حدّ الطريق.
سلّم عليه و صار يحكي معو.
"أهلاً! يعطيك العافية!"
"الله يزيدك عافية ، يا استاذ! أهلاً و سهلاً! كيف حال جنابك؟"
"الله يحفظك ، كيف صحتك؟"
"نشكر الله كل ساعة! تفضل ، استاذ ، أُعد شوي! "
"أفضلت ، بس حبيت أكمّل الطريق للضيعة و أشوف أهلي و صديقي! يمكن تعرفو ، انجليزي الي أجا لهون قبل 6 شهور تقريباً "
"معلوم بعرفو!"
"وينو هلأ ؟"
„He’s just around the corner, in the fish-and-chips shop!”
