About the dish

Tirit sa piletinom (lit. tirit pasta with chicken), or just tirit, is a traditional Bosnian dish of tirit pasta and chicken. The preparation starts with making tirit pasta by rubbing small amounts of water into wheat flour, resulting in small dough granules that are then baked in the oven. The chicken, preferably an older one, is cooked without seasoning, then taken out and baked until crispy. The baked tirit pasta is poured over with the leftover chicken broth and baked shortly just so it somewhat thickens and cooks. The crispy, baked chicken pieces are arranged on top of the tirit pasta, and the dish is ready to be served. Tirit sa piletinom is a popular Ramadan dish, although it can be prepared any time of year.
