Ingredients

1-pound organic chicken (or duck), boned and skinned by your butcher and cut into 10 pieces, or 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup pomegranate syrup
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

If using a whole bird, set wings aside for another use. Trim all excess fat from remaining chicken pieces. Toss poultry with salt. In a large, dark pot with a tightly fitting dark lid, combine poultry with remaining ingredients and bake in solar oven until poultry is cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, checking after 1 hour and then every 20 minutes or so.
