Chicken Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

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 and coat them well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2

Cook the Chicken

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

3

Rest and Slice

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken thinly.

4

Prepare Serving

Serve the sliced chicken over fries, rice, or in pita bread. Add fresh vegetables on top and drizzle with tahini sauce if using.
