Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with oil.

  2. 2

    Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side until deeply charred on the outside and fully cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

  3. 3

    Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice the meat very thinly, crosswise, to mimic meat shaved from a vertical spit.

  4. 4

    Lay the large flatbread on a clean surface. Spread the incredibly potent Toum (garlic sauce) evenly over the entire surface, taking it close to the edges.

  5. 5

    Arrange the hot, thinly sliced chicken in a thick line down the center of the flatbread. Scatter the chopped pickles evenly over the meat to add acidity and crunch.

  6. 6

    Fold the sides of the flatbread inwards, then roll it tightly into a cylinder. For an authentic touch, quickly toast the finished roll in the hot skillet for 1 minute per side to crisp the exterior before serving.
