Directions

  1. Crush the walnuts, but leave some larger pieces so that you can still taste them in your mouth. ≈ 3 min
  2. Peel and finely chop the onions, then squeeze them into a clean cloth. Sauté them in a frying pan over medium heat without any added fat, until they are softened and translucent, then set aside to cool.
  3. Cut the lavash into small pieces with scissors, pour over with hot water to soften it, and stir. Add more hot water as needed. ≈ 4 min
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, onion, melted butter, salt, pepper, lavash, and horra. The filling should have a slightly sour, salty, and mildly bitter flavor. ≈ 4 min
  5. Rinse the chicken and clean it thoroughly. ≈ 8 min
  6. Cut off the tips of the wings and the legs, then set aside some of the filling. ≈ 8 min
  7. Stuff the chicken with the remaining mixture, then tie the cavity closed with kitchen twine. ≈ 10 min
  8. Pierce the underside of the wings and the thighs, rub the remaining filling over the outside, and then slide it into the holes. ≈ 3 min
