Instructions

1
Slice your chicken thighs into strips, then add yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, shawarma seasoning, and tomato paste. Then mix well to coat and marinate till you get hungry.
2
Meanwhile, make a simple garlic sauce with all of these ingredients. Mix well and set aside.
3
Now get a baking tray, give it a spray, add your marinated chicken, and bake in the oven with these settings, then broil on high afterwards for that golden char.
4
For the crispy shawarma coating, we're going to mix oil, tomato paste, salt, and chili flakes. Mix well to combine, then separate a pita bread into two, add a healthy amount of garlic sauce, followed by your shawarma chicken, and sliced pickles.
5
Roll it up tightly like so, then add it to a pan on medium heat with that shawarma coating, base the outside, and roll them around till golden and crispy on all sides.
