Musakhan (), also known as muhammar (), is a Palestinian dish composed of roasted chicken baked with onions, sumac, allspice, saffron, and fried pine nuts served over taboon bread. Originating in the Tulkarm and Jenin area, musakhan is often considered the national dish of Palestine. The dish is particularly popular among Palestinians and Jordanians. It is also eaten by Druze in the Galilee, especially around Iksal and Sandala, and in the Triangle. The dish can be found in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan as well. The dish owes its name to the practice of Palestinian farmers reheating old taboon bread and make it taste better. Musakhan is traditionally cooked during the olive harvest season.
