1Combine boneless skinless chicken thighs and breasts.
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.
4Slice the chicken into strips.
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.
