Shawarma Chicken
The juiciest, tastiest and easiest Shawarma chicken - all in the oven!
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 teaspoon shawarma spice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 onion sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Combine the spices, oil and lemon juice with the chicken. Mix well
- If you have time, you can marinate the chicken for an hour or two. However, I find it has enough flavor that you can get away without marinating.
- Lay the chicken in a baking dish 9x9in You can use any pan, just be aware that the more you pile on top of each other, the slower it cooks. I try to keep the chicken flat, or with 2 layers, never more than that.
- Add the sliced onions on top
- Tightly cover the pan with foil and cook for around 25-30 minutes (depending on how packed your pan is).
- Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the chicken into shawarma-like strips and add it back into the sauce.
- Serve warm with hummus, tehini, vegetables, cilantro, wraps, rice and any other toppings you like!
