Brown the chicken with allspice and cinnamon; set aside.
Soften onions in the same pot; stir in freekeh to coat.
Add stock, nestle the chicken on top, and simmer covered 40 minutes.
π‘ Freekeh drinks more than rice and forgives more too β add a splash if it dries early.
Rest 10 minutes; serve scattered with fried almonds.
Freekeh is wheat harvested young and fire-roasted β a technique with millennia behind it. Its grassy smoke makes rice feel briefly unimaginative.
