Chicken Shawarma

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix garlic paste, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tahini Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once grilled, let chicken rest for a few minutes. Slice into strips and serve warm with diced tomatoes and a generous drizzle of lemon tahini dressing.
