Preparation
1. Prep the Chicken
Thinly slice the chicken thighs and place them into a large mixing bowl.
2. Season the Chicken
Add a spoonful of yogurt, a quick squeeze of tomato paste, a spoonful of garlic sauce (Toum), a splash of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a generous amount of shawarma seasoning. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
3. Preheat the Sheet Tray
Before marinating, start heating your sheet tray in the oven on a broil setting. Once hot, add beef tallow to the tray to coat it.
4. Arrange and Broil
Gently spread the chicken mixture across the hot sheet tray in a single, even layer. Place in the oven under a high broil and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Assemble and Toast
Split the pita bread into halves. Spread a generous amount of garlic sauce on each piece, add the cooked chicken, and top with pickles. Fold the bread and brush the outside with a little bit of the pan drippings from the tray. Finally, toast the shawarma in a pan until golden and crispy.
