Boil 2 large chickens in very little water until soft enough that the meat falls off the bone.

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool before taking the meat off the bone.

Transfer some chicken broth back to the pot along with chopped onions and spices.

Dice 6 small to medium onions and add them to the boiling chicken broth.

Simmer the onions and spices for about 20 to 30 minutes until soft.

Chop the boiled chicken into bite-sized pieces.

In a separate pot, combine 3 cups of vermicelli pasta with 2 cups of chicken broth and let it simmer to absorb flavor.

Add a tablespoon of honey to the chicken mixture.

Mix in fresh herbs (parsley and cilantro) into the chicken and broth mixture.

Plate the vermicelli first on a platter and then add the chicken on top.

Saute sliced almonds in oil until browned, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the almonds before topping the dish.
