Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, shawarma spice mix, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.

  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, or until fully cooked and nicely browned. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice according to package instructions. You can use white or brown rice, seasoned with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly. Serve the sliced shawarma on a platter alongside the cooked rice and a side of fresh vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, and lettuce.
