Chicken Shawarma Recipe

• porzioni: 6 servings
• tempo di preparazione: 30 minutes
• tempo totale: 55 minutes

Ingredienti

2 lbs to 2 ¼ lb chicken thighs (boneless and skinless, or skin on- see notes) leave whole or cut into bite-sized pieces for skewers.

2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 tablespoons ground coriander

8 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons kosher salt

6 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 teaspoons allspice

Istruzioni

Soak skewers in water if using.

Place all marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix, or pulse in a food processor to make a paste.

Rub chicken on all sides with the marinade and let sit at minimum 20 minutes (or up to 24-48 hours for the best flavor, refrigerated). You can also cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and marinate for skewers.

Grill chicken on a pre-heated grill, on medium-high heat, closing the lid to the BBQ, until all sides have nice grill marks, about 8 minutes each side.

Move to a cooler part of the grill or finish cooking chicken in a 350 F oven until cooked all the way through ( 170F) , about 10 minutes.

* Alternatively, you can bake the chicken thighs in a 375 F oven for 30-40 minutes or use a grill pan on the stovetop.

Enjoy the chicken shawarma over Israeli salad, tabouli, Lebanese Slaw, or with Middle Eastern rice and veggies, or as a sandwich with tahini yogurt, tzatziki, pita bread, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
