How to cook

Plating & presentation

Serve the wraps halved on a board with extra tahini sauce and pickles on the side. For a plated version, fan the sliced chicken over a bed of rice with the garnishes arranged alongside.

Dana's tip

The marinade needs acid (lemon) and fat (oil) to tenderize the chicken and carry the spices. Don't skip the resting time after roasting — slicing too early loses all the juices onto the board.
