Method

Step 1 – Slice the chicken and season it with all the listed spices, tomato paste, and lemon juice. Mix well until fully coated and set aside.

Step 2 – Preheat the oven to 220°C / 430°F. Cut the potatoes into fries and add cornstarch, paprika, black pepper, and cooking spray. Mix well, then place them on a lined baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 3 – While the fries are cooking, heat a pan over medium heat, add cooking spray, and cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown (avoid overcooking).

Step 4 – Prepare the garlic sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing well.

Step 5 – Take the flatbread, spread a generous amount of garlic sauce, add chicken pieces, about 50 g fries, and chopped pickles, then add a little more garlic sauce
