Shawarma Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Let it Rest

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the chicken and serve it garnished with chopped parsley. It can be served in pita bread, with rice, or as part of a salad.
