Instructions
- Step 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.
- Step 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.
- Step 3
Mix Greek yogurt with grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Step 4
In a bowl, mix olive oil, water, tomato paste, ketchup, salt, and pepper. This will be used to brush the wraps, not for frying.
- Step 5
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.
- Step 6
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.
