Step by step

Method

Slice the chicken thighs into strips and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Season the chicken with onion powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt and black pepper then add chopped garlic, red pepper paste and tomato paste

Add natural yoghurt and lemon juice, then mix the chicken thoroughly. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven and lightly oil a baking tray. Spread the marinated chicken evenly across the tray and cook until browned, cooked through and crispy around the edges.

For the fresh salad, chop the tomatoes, cucumber and coriander, then combine them in a bowl.

Add a little olive oil, salt and black pepper to the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.

For the sumac onions, thinly slice the red onion.

Add the sumac, chopped parsley and lemon juice to the onions

Add a splash of vinegar then toss everything together well.

Warm your Homemade Lavash Bread and spread with Garlic Herb Yoghurt Sauce. Fill with crispy chicken shawarma, fresh salad and sumac onions. Wrap everything up and serve straight away. Add Paprika Fries on the side for the full meal.
