Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 large cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tbsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- For the sauce: 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 4 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- French fries, pita wraps for serving
Instructions
- Combine olive oil, grated garlic, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, paprika, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt in a large bowl or ziplock bag to make the marinade. Add chicken thighs, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally 3 hours or overnight.
- Cook the chicken: Grill over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through, or sear in a skillet, or oven-roast at 425°F for 25-30 minutes.
- Prepare the creamy garlic sauce: Grate garlic cloves into a bowl, mix with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency with a splash of water if needed.
- Assemble: Slice cooked chicken, place in pita wrap with french fries, drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce, and wrap tightly.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Use Greek yogurt for thicker sauce; thin with milk if preferred. Grill for smoky flavor or oven for convenience.
