Place the whole chicken in a pot with the water, yellow onion, and half of the salt.
Boil the chicken for 38 minutes, until the meat separates easily from the bone.
Remove the chicken from the water, pull the meat into large pieces, and strain the chicken stock.
Layer the yufka sheets in a greased tray, drizzling chicken stock over each layer.
Distribute the chicken pieces and walnut kernels between the yufka layers.
Bake the kokoshka in a 210°C oven for 18 minutes, until the top is browned.
Foam the butter with red pepper flakes for 2 minutes, drizzle it over the hot dish, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not turn the yufka soggy with chicken stock; a few spoonfuls over each layer give cleaner layers in a home oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice kokoshka hot from a copper tray and serve it for a Nevsehir breakfast table with optional grape pickles and ayran.
