Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice, pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs and massage the marinade in thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes or up to 4 hours.
2. While the chicken is marinating, make the garlic yogurt sauce by mixing together the yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
3. Remove the chicken from the fridge. Place a single layer of the marinated chicken thighs into the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the chicken once it reaches 165°F.
4. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
5. Assemble in warm pita with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle with garlic yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
