Chef's Notes


Shawarma Seasoning: Make a large batch of the shawarma seasoning by combining all the ingredients except chicken, olive oil, honey and salt and store it in an airtight jar for use later
Pickled beets and onions: Thickly slice 1 beetroot and onion and toss it with 3 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside for 1-2 hours, mix again and use
Hummus: Use my favourite hummus recipe which gives you light and airy hummus every single time
Garlic Mayo: In a jar, add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon garlic paste, 4 teaspoons lime juice, 1/4 tsp salt and 1 cup oil. Use a hand blender to slowly blend this up and you’ll have thick and creamy garlic mayo in a minute
Pita: Substitute pita with with gluten-free pita to make this a gluten-free recipe.

The best. It's one of my families favorites.

Kathy Henderson ★ 5.0/5

This was delicious! Tender, juicy, and flavorful. I used closer to 3 pounds of chicken and thought I should use a time and a half the marinade but it wasn’t necessary. I used the loaf pan method in the oven. It required about 10 extra minutes to cook fully through. I will be adding this recipe to our weekly rotation.

I’ve been craving that authentic street style shawarma during this lockdown and this recipe nailed it.

I can’t tell you how delicious it was. Sooo good!
