Lebanese Garlic Chicken (Farrouj Meshwi)

Stephen Connell, United States.
If you like garlic then you will probably love this chicken! You can use any pieces of chicken for this recipe in place of the whole cutup chicken. Farrouj means male chicken in Arabic, said to be tastier than hens, but you can certainly use any type of chicken you wish. I will probably use four quarters, separated.

Equipment

  • Grill, Charcoal or Gas

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken, cut up or any 6-8 pieces you like
  • 6-8 cloves garlic, peeled
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • juice from 1 lemon, or 3 tablespoons
  • ½ teaspoon sumac

Instructions
 

  • Grind garlic & salt to a paste in mortar or small food processor. Work in the olive oil, sumac & lemon juice to create a creamy consistency similar to mayo.
  • Cut chicken into 6 to 8 pieces or use any 6 to 8 pieces of chicken to your liking. Make plenty of deep cuts in the pieces, right down to the bone.
  • Place the chicken pieces & garlic sauce in a large ziploc bag. Close the bag and massage the chicken for a few minutes before placing in the fridge for at least 3 hours or up to 6 hours, to marinate.
  • Grill the chicken pieces over a medium heat until the juices run totally clear, 12 to 15 minutes per side. You can also use a griddle or grill pan then transfer to the oven on 200° C (400° F) for 15 minutes. Serve.

Notes

Chicken quarters cost around 70 Baht/kilo, 4 quarters should be right about 1 kilo. Separate the legs from the thighs and you have 8 tasty pieces to use. For 4 servings, this is about 52 cents per serving.
