Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  3. 5

    Slice the Chicken

    Using a sharp knife, slice the rested chicken into thin strips for serving.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Serving Station

    Lay out pita bread, hummus, tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and lettuce leaves on a large table or serving area.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Shawarma

    To serve, guests can take a piece of pita bread, add a portion of the sliced chicken, and top with their choice of hummus, tzatziki, and vegetables.
