Best Musakhan
in Amman
Musakhan is a deeply flavorful Palestinian dish that is widely celebrated and loved in the kitchens of Amman. Order it by asking for **'musakhan dajaj'** and prepare to eat with your hands using the oil-soaked bread as your base. The dish consists of roasted chicken flavored with sumac and allspice, served on taboon bread smothered in caramelized onions. A typical portion in Amman costs between 5 JOD and 10 JOD depending on the size of the chicken and the quality of the olive oil used. The trap is ordering "Musakhan rolls" from a fast-food stall, which lack the traditional texture of the large, oil-soaked taboon bread.
