Instructions

1. Cut small slits into the chicken thighs so the marinade can soak in, then put them in a bowl.
2. Add the grated onion, olive oil, minced garlic, yogurt, tomato paste, oregano, kosher salt, black pepper and Aleppo pepper to the bowl.
3. Coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade.
4. Lay the marinated chicken on plastic wrap and roll it tightly into a cylinder, sealing the ends. Use 2 sheets of wrap if needed so no marinade leaks.
5. Freeze for 6 to 8 hours to firm it up.
6. Take the chicken out of the freezer and leave it on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes. Then slice it thinly with a sharp knife.
7. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Sear the slices for about 1 minute per side, taking care not to overcook them so they stay juicy.
8. Do not crowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of getting crispy.
