Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly. Serve wrapped in warm pita bread with your favorite toppings like sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and a drizzle of garlic sauce or tahini.
Tips for Authentic Flavor
- Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat.
- Don’t skip the marinating step — it’s key to the tender, spiced flavor.
- For a smoky touch, finish chicken on a grill or under the broiler.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a subtle warm note.
