    Instructions

    1
    |
    In a bowl, mix chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, curry, MSG, tomato paste, yogurt, and olive oil. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
    2
    |
    Preheat oven to 220°C (top/bottom heat). Lightly oil a baking sheet and spread the chicken pieces on top. Bake for 15–18 minutes until cooked and lightly crisp on the edges.

    Mix Greek yogurt with grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, water, tomato paste, ketchup, salt, and pepper. This will be used to brush the wraps, not for frying.

    |
    Lay your wrap flat and brush the INSIDE with the tomato oil mixture. Add the baked chicken, quick toum, and pickle slices. Roll the shawarma tightly.

    Heat a pan over medium heat with oil. Add the shawarmas and toast them slowly until the outside becomes deeply crispy. This step takes a bit longer, but that’s exactly how they get ultra-crunchy.
