Chicken Shawarma

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill or roast for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Dips

    Serve the chicken sliced with dips such as hummus, baba ghanoush, and turkiya. You can buy these dips pre-made or make them from scratch.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the sliced chicken on a platter with the dips on the side. Enjoy with pita bread or rice.
