Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
- Add chicken thighs to the marinade and ensure each piece is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, using a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the marinated chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve the sliced chicken in warm pita or on a plate, drizzled with garlic sauce and accompanied by fresh vegetables.

Notes
Longer marination offers deeper flavor; consider using chicken breasts carefully due to dryness risk.
