½ cup of extra virgin olive oil (keep about 2 tablespoons for the chicken)
3 red onions chopped
2-3 tablespoons sumac (1 tablespoon for the onions and 1 for the chicken) and extra to sprinkle over bread.
1 teaspoon Allspice

Directions

Prepare chicken for roasting, rub the chicken with olive, then add lemon juice season with spices, salt, and sumac, and mix well. Place in a roasting pan keeping the skin side up.
Roast chicken in a preheated oven at 350 F for 50-60 minutes. For extra brownish color place under the roaster for 2-4 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop onions finely.
In a pot heat olive oil over medium-high heat, then add chopped onions. Cook until onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Then season with salt, black pepper, and sumac.
With a spoon take some of the caramelized onions and spread over the bread. Then place it over the broiler for 2-3 minutes.
When ready to serve, place a piece of chicken over the bread and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and almonds.
