Chicken Shawarma

There are several variations of this beautiful, wonderful, perfectly delicious chicken sandwich but my favourite is the Syrian version, largely due to the fact that every Syrian that has ever sold me one of these was an utterly lovely person. It doesn’t hurt that it’s served in a huge, super soft crepe-like bread called Saj. If you don’t have access to Saj though, never fear! A flour tortilla would make an excellent substitute.
