CHICKEN SHAWARMA (MIDDLE EASTERN)



Chicken Shawarma (Middle Eastern) image

Recipe video above. The smell when this is cooking is outrageous! The marinade is very quick to prepare and the chicken can be frozen in the marinade, then defrosted prior to cooking. Best cooked on the outdoor grill / BBQ, but I usually make it on the stove. Serve with Yogurt Sauce (provided) or the Tahini sauce in this recipe. Add a simple salad and flatbread laid out on a large platter, then let everyone make their own wraps!

BAKED CHICKEN SHAWARMA



Baked Chicken Shawarma image

Middle Eastern foods rely on an abundance of spices and seasonings to create richly flavored food. Shawarma usually involves a stack of meat on a grill, but this recipe calls for a layer of chicken thighs on a sheet pan, in the oven. Use the broiler briefly, at the end of the baking time, to achieve extra flavor from the light char. Chicken can be served on steamed white rice, or sliced and served in a pita or flatbread with tomatoes, lettuce, and your favorite tzatziki or tahini sauce.

Time 2h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium lemons, juiced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
4 tablespoons finely minced fresh garlic
4 teaspoons smoked paprika
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 large onions, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, turmeric, and cinnamon in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and gently squeeze ingredients together until they are well blended. Add chicken thighs to the bag, squeeze out most of the air, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12x18-inch baking sheet. Spread onion slices over the bottom; add chicken thighs on top.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven, about 30 minutes. Switch on the broiler and move rack closer to the broiler. Broil chicken until a light char develops, 2 to 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish with parsley.
