Homemade Chicken Shawarma With Ben Stiller And Ahmed Badr Recipe by Tasty image

Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish that's become a popular street food around the world, but it's easy enough to make in your own kitchen. This recipe calls for boneless skinless chicken thighs that are marinated in a fragrant mixture of spices. Bake the chicken in the oven, then toss it into pita bread with cucumber, tomatoes, pickles, and a homemade white sauce made with Greek yogurt and lemon juice.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon paprika
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sumac
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup whole milk greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sumac
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
pita bread, warmed
cucumber, sliced
tomato, sliced
pickle

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together.
  • Add the chicken thighs and coat evenly.
  • Cover and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours
  • Prepare the sauce by adding all sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Mix together and chill until ready to serve.
  • Adjust the oven rack about 6 inches (15 cm) from the top heat source in your oven, then preheat the broiler.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and a wire rack.
  • Place chicken in single layer on prepared wire rack, with the smooth sides down. Broil until chicken is well browned and registers at least 165˚F (74˚C), about 16-20 minutes. You may need to rotate the sheet pan halfway through if your broiler heats unevenly. Remove and rest the chicken for 5 minutes before handling, and turn off the oven.
  • While chicken rests, warm your pitas in the still-warm oven for a few minutes.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips and transfer to platter.
  • Serve with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles, prepared yogurt sauce, and warm pita.
  • Enjoy!

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the tahini sauce was too thin. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were well-balanced. I'll probably try making it again with less spice next time.
