Step 1: Prepare and marinate the chicken

Clean the chicken or duck. Season all parts inside and out with salt, pepper, half the pomegranate or plum paste, and a little red pepper. Refrigerate the chicken for 24 hours to fully flavor it.

Step Two: Preparing the Chicken Lungi Ingredients

Grate the onions and squeeze out the juice. Pour oil into a pan and place over low heat. Add the onions and vegetables and fry well until golden brown.

Add the powdered walnuts, chopped plums, saffron, barberry, remaining pomegranate paste, cucumber juice, salt, pepper, and ginger to the ingredients and stir well until completely combined. Remove from heat and let cool.

Pour the filling into the chicken's belly and sew the top with cooking thread so that the filling doesn't leak out while cooking.

Step Three: Cooking Chicken Lungi in the Oven

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, pour a little water over it so that it does not dry out during cooking. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 90 minutes until cooked through. Open the oven door every 15 minutes and check the chicken to make sure it is not dry.

Step Four: Preparing the Chicken Lungi

Cut the potatoes into cubes. Pour oil into a pan and fry them. Fry the tomatoes, a little hot onion and barberry together and add to the potatoes. Use this mixture for the chorizo.
