Begin by marinating the chicken thighs with the hot pepper paste or tomato paste, yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil, along with the shawarma spices. Ensure the chicken is well coated in the marinade.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least a few hours, but preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat your oven to high broil and place a sheet tray inside to heat for about 10-15 minutes.
Once the tray is hot, add the beef tallow or neutral oil to it, then spread the marinated chicken in a single layer on the tray.
Broil the chicken for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and crispy.
While the chicken is broiling, prepare the red sauce by combining oil, tomato paste, ketchup, cayenne pepper, water, and salt in a bowl.
After the chicken is done, assemble the shawarma by splitting a pita and generously spreading toum inside.
Add a good amount of the cooked chicken and some thinly sliced pickles to the pita.
Fold, tuck, and roll the pita, then toast it in a pan with some drippings until it turns golden brown.
Finally, brush the red sauce onto the toasted pita, making sure to flip and coat all sides.
