    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220C, fan 200C. Mix 100g yogurt with ⅔ of the garlic, the cumin, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp oregano and ½ the lemon zest and juice in a bowl. Season with black pepper; toss in the chicken pieces.
    2. Heat the oil in a griddle pan over a high heat. Push the chicken onto skewers and griddle for 15-18 mins turning regularly, until cooked through. Remove, then griddle the lemon slices for 1-2 mins each side. Meanwhile, bake the skin-on fries for 15-18 mins until golden. Warm the flatbreads for the final 2 mins of the cooking time.
    3. Toss the lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes in a bowl, season with black pepper, then use to top the flatbreads.
    4. Mix the remaining yogurt, garlic, lemon zest and juice in a bowl; season with black pepper. Add the chicken to the flatbreads, drizzle over the yogurt sauce; sprinkle with the remaining paprika and oregano. Serve with the fries and lemon slices.
