Chicken Shawarma

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and nicely charred. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F). Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    While the chicken is resting, cook your favorite rice according to package instructions. You can add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil for flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of rice. You can garnish with fresh herbs, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and a drizzle of tahini or garlic sauce if desired.
