Chicken Shawarma
Directions

- 2Make the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, yogurt, minced garlic, shawarma spices, and the chicken; massage well and let it marinate for several hours.
- 3Cook the chicken by lining it on a vertical spit or using bamboo skewers and bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

- 5Prepare the pita bread; stretch the dough thinner and shape it into a circle, then cook it on an upside-down heated pan.
- 6Make fresh homemade garlic sauce (toum).
- 7Assemble the shawarma: spread toum on the pita bread, add pickles, chicken strips, pomegranate molasses, and cabbage slaw.
- 8Roll up the pita bread and brush with leftover chicken juices, sprinkle with sumac, and toast in a hot pan until crispy.
- 9Serve with French fries and extra garlic sauce.
