Chicken Shawarma Recipe

• 份量: 6 servings
• 准备时间: 1 hour
• 总时间: 2 hours 30 minutes

配料

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

1 cinnamon stick

1 teaspoon green cardamom pods

1 tablespoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon whole black pepper corns

1 ½ tablespoons coarse salt

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 tablespoon paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne

1/3 cup full fat yogurt

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons tomato paste

Zest and juice of 2 lemons

2 tablespoons white vinegar

8 finely minced garlic cloves

1 ” peeled piece of freshly grated ginger

3 to 3 ½ pounds total boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs

步骤

This is optional, but add the whole black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods to a medium-sized sauté pan and cook while occasionally stirring over low to medium heat until the spices become very fragrant, which takes about 4 to 6 minutes.

Add them to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind until finely ground.

Add the spices along with the cayenne, turmeric, paprika, garlic, ginger, salt, yogurt, oil, lemon juice, tomato paste, and vinegar to a large bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.

Gently pound the boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs until they are about ¼” to ½” thick. The goal is for them to be flat in all areas for even cooking.

Add the pounded chicken to the bowl of spices and yogurt and thoroughly mix to coat. Once mixed, cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 to 48 hours.

Next, remove the chicken from the bowl and layer it onto a vertical skewer, firmly stacking it until all the chicken is used.

Place on a rack in the lower third of the oven at 375° and cook for 1:15 to 1:30 or until it reads 165° internally.

Remove the chicken, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, and then thinly shave it using a sharp knife.

Serve as is or with assorted accompaniments or in a pita wrap. See the video below on other easy cooking methods if you do not have a vertical skewer. In addition, you’ll see how I make it into a wrap.
