Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Add chicken thighs or breasts into the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat about 10 minutes before cooking. Add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is charred.
- Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes on a cutting board before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayo, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt for the garlic sauce.
- Serve the sliced chicken on a plate or in warm pita bread with the garlic sauce and fresh vegetables.

Notes
Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes; overnight is ideal. Cook in batches if necessary for a golden-brown sear.
