Steps

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté sliced onions until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Add sumac, allspice, cinnamon, and salt to the onions; stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Rub the chicken thigh with a pinch of salt and a little sumac.
Place the flatbread on a baking tray, spread the caramelized onions evenly over it.
Place the chicken thigh on top of the onions.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and skin is crispy.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
