Chicken Shawarma

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

  3. 3

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into strips and serve in warm pita bread with fresh vegetables and a generous drizzle of garlic sauce.
