<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let me start by telling\nyou, it is practically impossible not to fall in love with these chicken\nsandwiches. I mean what\u2019s not to love? Juicy lemony garlicky charred chicken,\nwith garlic lemon yoghurt sauce and wait for it, my favorite way to eat fries,\nfeta zaatar and Aleppo pepper fries. All of this wrapped in a warm pita or\ntaboon bread, yummy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give me a good chicken\nsandwich on any given day, and I will happily take it. I have always had this\nproblem as a kid, I always wanted sandwiches for breakfasts, lunches and\ndinners. This has paid off when I grew older as it meant that I became very\nserious about my sandwiches and pretty good at making them. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When making sandwiches,\nall parts and elements of a sandwich are equally important. This is why you\nwill find more than a few things in my sandwiches. Everything is important,\nbread, spread, protein, veggies, cheese, everything is equally important. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t really remember\nhow this sandwich came to life. When we were kids, I have always loved French\nfries\u2019 sandwiches, they were in every snack shop in Damascus and we loved them.\nLater, they started adding the fries to chicken shawarma sandwiches. Since\nthen, I knew chicken and fries sandwiches are just meant to be, and this one is\none of the best ever!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me break it down to you, amazingly good feta zaatar fries, lemon garlic chicken and soft Palestinian taboon bread (flat bread, similar to Indian naan), smothered with delicious yogurt tangy sauce, the perfect sandwich!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get cooking!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I start by marinating\nthe chicken the night before to get the best results. However, if you don\u2019t\nhave time you can get away with not marinating it at all or only up to a few\nhours. Marinating the chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and spices\nmakes it so tender, juicy and nothing but boring. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the fries, you\ncan deep fry them, air fry them or even roast them, whatever is your preferred\nway of cooking them. I personally do all three depending on what I am craving\nand how much clean up I feel like doing. Then while the fries still very hot, mix\nthem with crumbled feta cheese, dried zaatar, Aleppo peppers and black pepper.\nYou will probably never have better tasting fries, ever.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sauce is so light and starts with a base of yogurt, honey mustard, fresh garlic and lemon juice. This sauce makes the sandwich amazing! As for the bread, I use taboon bread, but any type of flat bread will do. Add parsley and fresh chilies and you will have a sandwich that everyone in my family dreams about. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
