Step 1

Mix all the ingredients for marination. Clean and dry the chicken before adding the marinade to it, rubbing it all over. Allow this to rest for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to about 400F and remove all but the bottom most rack.

Step 3

Use one half of the onion as a base, place it on a baking tray and insert the skewer into it (the non-pointy part goes into the onion.)

Step 4

Pierce each piece of chicken and place them one top of one other on the skewer, all stacked up. You can use a couple of skewers to make sure your chicken tower is standing up.

Step 5

Cook for about an hour, until the edges have blackened a bit. Once out, use a sharp knife and scrap the chicken off the skewer.

Step 6

Assembly

Step 7

Spread a layer of mayo and one of spicy mint chutney on the rumali roti before construction. Place everything in a small rectangle, chicken first, then pickled vegetables, a drizzle of tahini sauce, and a sprinkle of sumac.

Step 8

To make the shawarma, fold in the two sides which look smaller, then close one flap and roll.
