Cut the yufka into wide strips and spread loosely on an ungreased tray.
Bake the yufka in a 185°C oven for 12 minutes, until lightly browned and brittle at the edges but not burnt.
Shred the boiled chicken and keep the boiled chickpeas and rice pilaf warm for serving.
Heat the chicken broth with salt and ladle it over the toasted yufka.
Mix the yogurt and crushed garlic until smooth.
Layer rice pilaf, chicken, chickpeas, and garlic yogurt over the softened yufka.
Foam the butter with red pepper flakes for 45 seconds, drizzle the hot sauce over the manti, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not let the yufka pieces sit after they come out of the oven; hot chicken broth should touch them right away so they soften without turning pasty.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Avunya manti as a main dish with garlic yogurt, pepper butter, and optional pickles on the side.
