Put the chicken in a pot with the water, salt, and whole onion.
Boil the chicken over medium heat for 45 minutes, until tender.
Remove the chicken from the water and shred the meat into large pieces.
Strain the chicken broth and melt the butter in the hot broth.
Break the dried yufka into pieces that fit the serving plate.
Dip the yufka pieces briefly into the buttery chicken broth and arrange them on the plate.
Place the shredded chicken over the yufka.
Sprinkle with black pepper and serve hot without waiting.
💡 Tip: Dipping the breads briefly into the chicken broth and removing them right away keeps them from falling apart like dough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle with black pepper and serve hot with pickles and ayran.
