Method

  1. 1 Marinate the chicken with yogurt, baharat, lemon juice, and vinegar for 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. 2 Stack the meats into a block and bake at 220 degrees for 25 minutes, then slice thinly from the outside, as if cutting from the rotisserie.
  3. 3 Crush the garlic with salt, then pour in the oil in a thin stream and squeeze in the lemon juice. Whisk continuously for 8 minutes until a thick white toum sauce is formed.
  4. 4 Toum only solidifies when the oil is poured in very slowly, starting with the first drop; pouring quickly will cause the sauce to separate and become unsalvageable.
  5. 5 Fry potato sticks until crispy, then wrap them with meat, toum sauce, and pickled cucumbers in pita bread.

With an appliance
