Chicken Shawarma

I wonder where I got this from?
Marinade;
1/2 c cider vinegar
1/4 c plain yogurt
1 Tbsp canola oil
pepper
1 tsp shawarma spice (a mixture of allspice, cloves, cinammon, nutmeg and ginger)
1/4 tsp cardamom

Mix together and pour over 8 chicken thighs. Let marinate overnight or at least 4 hours. Bake @350 about half an hour. Pull off the skin, remove the bones and chop coarsely.

Tahini sauce;
1/2 c tahini
1/4 c plain yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
juice of one lemon
splash of olive oil
1 tsp dried parsley
salt and pepper

Mix together and let the flavour marry for a few hours.

Assemble the Shawarma;
Smear tahini sauce on a pita bread, add lettuce, sliced onion and chopped tomato, then the chicken. Wrap it up and eat it.
