Prepare the brine

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.

Add all of the ingredients for the brine to a small saucepan.

Stir and bring to a boil. As soon as it boils, remove from the heat and set aside for 1 hour. Strain into a bowl and let it cool completely.

Marinate and cook the chicken

Chop the chicken into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the poultry brine. Let them soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Drain the chicken pieces and dry them well with paper towels. Thread the chicken onto skewers.

Add a small amount of olive oil to a very hot pan and brown the chicken skewers on all sides for about 3 to 4 minutes.

When browned, cook the skewers in the oven for 5 minutes.

Prepare the pita and sauce

Place the pita bread in a baking pan. Drizzle with a very small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 5 minutes.

Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl.
