A flavorful Chicken Shawarma recipe that brings the vibrant tastes of Middle Eastern cuisine right to your kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pita bread or flatbreads for serving
  • Toppings: sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, tahini sauce, etc.

Instructions

  1. Mix the marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Coat the chicken: Add chicken thighs and use your hands to coat them thoroughly with the marinade.
  3. Marinate the chicken: Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour—overnight is even better.
  4. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or prepare your grill for cooking.
  5. Roast or grill the chicken: For oven cooking, roast for 25-30 minutes; for grilling, grill for about 6-8 minutes per side.
  6. Rest and slice the chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
  7. Assemble the wraps: Serve the sliced chicken in pita bread topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and tahini sauce.

Notes

Marinate overnight for enhanced flavor. Serve with extra tahini or garlic sauce for those who want more flavor.
