This morning we're Cooking with Fire at the Glenview Fire Department, making firefighter/paramedic Charles Spicer's chicken ...

Pour oil into a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once hot but not smoking ... Cut off the top third of each pita and split the pita open.

To keep the pita bread warm and soft, wrap it in a clean kitchen towel after heating. If using store-bought pita, lightly brush it with olive oil before warming in the oven or on a grill.
