Steps

Whisk and marinate the chicken.

Heat the oven to 425°F. Spread the chicken in a single layer on a sheet pan. Tuck the onion wedges around it.
Roast chicken until cooked and caramelized.
Roast for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and edges are caramelized.
Broil chicken for crispy edges.
Switch the oven to broil. Broil 3-4 minutes for charred, crispy edges. Watch carefully.
Rest chicken and assemble pita.
Rest 5 minutes, then slice. Pile into warm pita with tahini sauce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pickles.
