Steps:

LEBANESE CHICKEN SHAWARMA
This is a flavorful chicken dish, which I first tasted at a little Lebanese restaurant. While normally shawarma is sliced off a rotisserie, it can be made at home with just a few changes. Be warned, it takes a day of prep time. For lunch, serve as a sandwich in warmed flatbread with cucumber sauce, sliced onion, and seeded tomato. For dinner, serve with rice and lentils (for a treat, look up mujadarrah on this site).

Steps:
- Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl. Mix in chicken strips. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Remove chicken from the bowl and arrange in a single layer on a broiling pan. Discard excess marinade.
- Broil chicken, turning once, until juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

LEBANESE GARLIC-MARINATED CHICKEN ON THE GRILL
This is another good recipe for skinless, boneless chicken breasts since the olive oil compensates for the dryness of the meat, but if you prefer, by all means, leave the skin on. For the finest flavor and texture, use chicken breasts from naturally raised free-range birds. For extra garlic flavor, serve it with Lebanese toum bi zeit (garlic sauce) . Precede it with a chilled gazpacho and serve the chicken with fresh pita bread or slices of a crusty country loaf and a massive green salad for a memorable summer Sunday lunch.

Steps:
- Chicken breasts are usually sold split in half. Cut each breast half in half again and put them in a bowl.
- Chop the garlic coarsely and in a small bowl crush it with the salt, using the back of a spoon, until you have a smooth paste. Stir in the lemon juice, oil, paprika, and pepper. Beat well with a fork and pour the marinade over the chicken pieces. Mix well, using your hands, and turn the pieces to coat them liberally with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 or 5 hours or overnight.
- When you're ready to cook, prepare the grill, leaving plenty of time for it to heat up if you're using charcoal or wood. When the fire is hot enough, place the chicken pieces on the grill and set the grill a good 8 inches from the source of the heat. Use the marinade remaining in the bowl to baste the chicken frequently as it cooks. Grill for 10 minutes or longer on each side, turning each piece once. Test for doneness and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Whisk fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, cumin and cayenne pepper in small bowl. Place chicken in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over; turn chicken to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Preheat over to 425°F. Transfer chicken and marinade to large roasting pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, occasionally basting with pan juices, about 50 minutes. Transfer chicken to plates. Garnish with lemon. Pass pan juices separately.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces are best for this marinade, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the chicken and make it extra delicious.
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken overnight, you can still get great results by marinating it for at least 30 minutes. Just be sure to flip the chicken pieces halfway through the marinating time so that they are evenly coated.
- When you're ready to cook the chicken, be sure to preheat your oven or grill to the proper temperature. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't dry out.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
Conclusion:
Lebanese chicken marinade is a flavorful and versatile marinade that can be used on chicken breasts, thighs, or wings. It's perfect for grilling, roasting, or baking, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
