Method
Chicken Shawarma Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Cook the Chicken
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F). Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
