Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
Preparation
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and yogurt. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
2. Cook the Chicken
Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
3. Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
4. Serve
Serve the sliced chicken shawarma in pita bread or on a plate with sides like hummus, tabbouleh, or a simple salad. Drizzle with tahini sauce or garlic sauce if desired.
