Techniques
- dehydrated Aleppo pepper with honey
- dried thyme
- chicken bouillon
- cumin
- garlic
- onion
- salt
- pepper
- lemon
- chicken
In a bowl combine the Aleppo pepper with honey, dried thyme, chicken bouillon, cumin, garlic, onion, plenty of salt, pepper and lemon.
The spice mix
- olive oil
- 2 cloves cloves of garlic
Add the chicken, olive oil and two cloves of grated garlic and stir until well coated; grated garlic is stronger than chopped, so scale back.
Set aside while making the sauce and preheating the grill, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
- tahini
- 1 clove clove of garlic
- limone
- salt
Tahini sauce: grate a clove of garlic into the tahini, add a little lemon and a pinch of salt and whisk; it will seize and thicken.
- water
- cucumber
Whisk in water a little at a time, about as much water as tahini, until it turns light gray and drizzly; taste.
Lay the chicken on the hot black stone in a single layer and leave it a minute or two before flipping, so the honey caramelizes and it colours evenly; cook 5 to 7 minutes in total.
Cooking the chicken on the Blackstone
- greens
- onion
- tomato
Fill the pita pockets with greens, chicken, onion, salted tomato and mint, and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
