For the Chicken Shawarma

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix together yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, 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 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  3. 3

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly. Serve with garlic sauce and your choice of pita bread or rice.
