Chicken Shawarma

Chicken Shawarma is a beloved street food classic from the Middle East. This recipe shows you how to get that delicious, authentic flavor at home without a vertical rotisserie. The secret is in the marinade: a tangy, aromatic blend of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and a host of warm spices like cumin, paprika, and turmeric. The chicken soaks up all this flavor, becoming incredibly tender and juicy. When cooked on a grill or a hot skillet, the chicken gets beautifully charred edges that mimic the taste of the traditional spit-roast. Served in warm pita bread with creamy tahini sauce and fresh vegetables, it's a healthy, flavorful, and satisfying meal.
