Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 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 grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shawarma

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly. Serve the sliced chicken in pita bread with fresh vegetables and drizzled tahini sauce.
