Savoury Chicken Patty and Spiced Mayo in Pita | Arabian Burger in Pita

This Pita Burger is an Arabian style burger with a very savoury chicken Patty and spiced Mayo. My recipe is inspired by the McArabia, which is a popular ‘Patty’ Wrap at McDonald’s in Saudi Arabia. Of course, you can make a regular burger, replacing the Pita with regular Burger buns, as here it is the delicious Patty and Mayo that are the real stars of this simple yet tasty burger. In the video, I have used bakery-bought (thick) Pita, which may be cut into half and filled with the patty and other fillings. You can do the same, or follow the recipe for homemade Pita below. Being able to cut the Pita in half, will depend on how well it puffs up during the cooking process. If not puffed fully, you can always just fold the pita in half and place the filling in between.

However you prefer to assemble this Burger, you will want to keep this recipe for Savoury Chicken Patty and Spiced Mayonnaise.

What makes these chicken Burger Patties so unique is the blend of spice and ingredients, that goes into them making them exceptionally simple yet packed with flavour. It creates a super moist patty too with just the right texture.  For flavouring we use the subtle yet unique flavour of Dried Basil, 2 kinds of pepper powder, paprika as well as hot sauce. Yet, it is only mildly spiced in the Burger. Paired with this fantastic Spiced Mayo, you just have to try the easy recipe, to see what I mean.
