Chicken Shawarma

Made it a couple times now and it’s lacking depth of flavor. I’m not sure what’s missing but it’s bland.

Very authentic prep made simple with the sheet pan approach. I did sub Arabian 7 spice power for the ground cloves which adds nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, allspice, and fenugreek to cloves which can sometimes be over powering its own. Also made only 6 thighs (about 2lbs) which was plenty for 2 and made leftovers. Final thing, if you marinate overnight (and you should) wait to add the lemon juice until a few hours before you cook so you don’t run the risk of the citrus cooking the chicken and making it mealy.

I was surprised that the meat was very tender. The meat itself has little flavor (as I’m accustomed to SALT) but the added sauce made it perfect

Made homemade garlic sauce to go on it instead.

I marinaded it in a little yogurt too--so tender!

Paired with Greek salad and pita

This was SO good! 10/10 per hubby. I used thighs and marinated them for about 8 hours and served them with garlic sauce on saj bread. This will be on regular rotation and would be great for guests. Next time I'm going to do a combo of cloves and cinnamon.

Good spices, used chicken breasts and only needed to bake for ~20mins.

Very flavorful! Used more chicken (around 11 thighs) but kept the same amount spices the recipe called for. Served with naan, tzatziki’s lettuce, and Mediterranean salad as suggested in the recipe.

This was surprisingly filling and just delicious!

This was such a quick and easy recipy and yet tasted so good! I eye-balled the spices and don't recommend using too much cayenne pepper.

Easy to make and it has a great flavor. This has been one of my favorite foods for a while so I'm glad I found a good recipe for it!

Next time do half of the spicies

I actually loved the seasonings combo more the the ready shawarma seasoning I have. I also liked roasted chicken more than pan seared . Chicken was very moist and broiling added a nice char. Roasted bell peppers and onions on a separate tray at the same time, using the same seasonings. Served w/ tomato salad and store bought tzatziki , tahini sauce and flat bread to save time. Big success!

Love this recipe!! Leftovers went into a breakfast quiche

I used 5 chicken thighs and tried to adjust the spices and ended up using a few different toppings from the recipe. It turned out pretty tasty though.

I used skinless breast pieces and cooked in the air fryer- I might reduce the spices to 1 or 1.5 tsp each.. I didn't use as much olive oil but it still worked. We ate with sauteed zucchini and peppers, homemade tztaziki and cucumbers- so yummy and filling
