1 Step 1: Mix the spices. In a small bowl, mix the cumin, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, sweet paprika, and cloves. Set aside the shawarma spice mix for now.2 Step 2: Dry and season the chicken. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt on both sides, then thinly slice into small bite-sized pieces.3 Step 3: Marinate the chicken. Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the shwarma spices and toss to coat. Add the onions, lemon juice, and olive oil. Toss everything together again. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. (If you don't have time, you can cut or skip marinating time.)4 Step 4: Preheat the oven. When ready, preheat the oven to 425°F. Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.5 Step 5: Roast. Lightly oil a sheet pan. Spread the marinated chicken with the onions in a single layer. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. For browner, crispier chicken, move the pan to the top rack and broil for a minute or less (watch carefully so it doesn't burn). Remove from the oven.6 Step 6: Prepare your sides. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the pita pockets. Make tahini sauce and or tzatziki and the cucumber tomato salad linked in the ingredient list above.7 Step 7: Enjoy! Open pita pockets up, spread a little sauce on the inside, add the chicken shawarma, arugula, pickles or olives, and top with the cucumber tomato salad. Serve immediately!getsaucepan.com/r/24755ca6-d69f-48a7-be17-49a5f04b1b7c · Original: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/chicken-shawarma-recipe/
