Instructions

1
Combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and all spices in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat thoroughly. Marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, or overnight for maximum flavor and tenderness.
2
Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange chicken in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the edges are caramelized and slightly charred. Let rest 5 minutes.
3
Slice chicken thinly against the grain. For extra char, spread sliced chicken back on the baking sheet and broil on high for 3–4 minutes, watching closely. Serve in warm pita bread with garlic sauce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and pickled turnips.
