Steps:
- Simmer the large onion, carrots, peppercorns, salt, bay leaves and parsley in 1 1/2 quarts of water for 20 minutes. Add the chicken, and continue simmering for 20 minutes longer, just until the chicken is done. Cool the chicken in the broth.
- Meanwhile, heat the walnut oil over very low heat, stirring in 1 teaspoon of the paprika. Set aside in a warm place.
- Soak the bread in a little water, and squeeze it dry.
- Grind the walnuts in a food processor or blender until fine. Spoon into a large bowl, and set aside.
- When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove from broth; discard skin and bones, and tear meat into bite-size pieces and set aside. Strain the chicken stock, and reserve.
- Crumble the bread into the walnuts. Stir in garlic, 1/2 cup minced onion, 1 tablespoon paprika, cayenne and 2 cups of reserved stock. Mix and process in batches to make smooth paste, using more stock as needed to make a thick sauce of pouring consistency. Season with salt.
- Mix half the sauce with the chicken pieces. Arrange the mixture on a serving platter, and pour the remaining sauce over it. Drizzle with hot walnut-paprika oil. Serve cold or at room temperature.

TURKISH CIRCASSIAN CHICKEN WITH WALNUT SAUCE
This is great served on a buffet or as an appetizer on toast rounds. It is really best served the day after it is made....the flavors develop more. This is known as Cerkez Tavugu in Turkey.

Steps:
- 1. Put the chicken, water, and salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove chicken, reserving the broth, and set aside to cool. When the chicken is cool, shred it finely with your fingers.
- 2. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, 3-4 minutes.
- 3. Add the garlic, paprika and cayenne pepper and saute for another 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- 4. Place the onion mixture, walnuts, bread, lemon juice, 2 cups of the poaching liquid, salt and pepper into a blender or food processor. Process until fairly smooth but with a little texture remaining. Remove to a large bowl.
- 5. Add the shredded chicken to the walnut sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Add more poaching liquid if the sauce is too dry. Place in a serving dish and shape decoratively with the tines of a fork.
- 6. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the paprika over medium heat until the oil colors a deep red, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle the oil over the chicken. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Turn the heat to medium under a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces without crowding them; use two skillets if necessary. Cook on the first side about 10 minutes, rotating the pieces and adjusting the heat as necessary to brown the pieces evenly. As the pieces brown, season with salt and pepper. Cook the second side as you did the first, then turn once or twice more until done, a total of 20 to 30 minutes. (You can check for doneness by cutting into the pieces; there should be no sign of blood, although traces of pink are all right. The breast and wing pieces will finish cooking first; keep them warm in a low oven, or just set them aside and serve them less than piping hot.)
- Meanwhile, soak the bread in the milk or stock. Put the walnuts, garlic and some salt in the container of a food processor, and pulse to grind coarsely. Gently squeeze some liquid from the bread, and add the bread to the container, along with the oil. Process until combined but not puréed. Add as much of the remaining milk or stock as necessary to give the mixture a mayonnaise-like consistency. By hand, add the paprika or chili powder, and stir in the parsley if you are using it. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Serve the chicken hot or at room temperature with the sauce spooned over it.

- Put the chicken in a large soup pot. Add the onion, allspice, cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves and coriander seeds. Add enough water to cover the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and when it is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and pull the meat off the bones in shreds.
- Strain the fragrant chicken broth and transfer 3 cups to a small saucepan. Boil until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.
- In a small bowl, mash the pita in the milk until it is completely soaked. Transfer the pita to a food processor. Add the walnuts and garlic and process to a paste. With the machine on, add about 1 cup of the reduced broth in a thin stream until a thick sauce forms; add more of the broth if necessary. Season the walnut sauce with salt and pepper and scrape half of it into a bowl. Fold the shredded chicken and the cilantro into the walnut sauce.
