Shawarma (Chicken)
Spiced marinated chicken thighs roasted and sliced, served in pita with garlic sauce (toum), pickles, and vegetables.
Why It Works
Yogurt marinade tenderizes while spice blend flavors penetrate. Home versions stack thighs and roast at high heat, slicing the charred edges to mimic vertical spit cooking.
