Waleed Asadi: Chicken & Onions | Musakhan | مسخن | The National Dish of Palestine

May 17, 2026 | “Today I'm sharing with you one of the most well-known dishes to come from Palestine. Yes, this is a dish that is enjoyed throughout the Levant, but it is well known throughout the region that Palestinians make this dish the best.

It's a very simple dish: just chicken and onions, seasoned in mostly sumac, cooked in an absurd amount of olive oil, and served on top of beautiful and fluffy bread.

This is a delicious dish which, hopefully, will awaken your interest in our history and culture.” — Waleed
