Directions

  1. Mix vinegar, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic paste, ginger paste, salt, and pepper together in a shallow dish. Add chicken breasts, turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Heat 2 inches oil in a heavy pot to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, slice into thin strips.

  4. Mix remaining 1 teaspoon garlic paste with mayonnaise in a bowl.

  5. Spread garlic mayonnaise inside pita breads. Fill each pita with French fries, chicken slices, and pickles.
