HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN SHAWARMA

CHICKEN SHAWARMA

Strong and healthy easy Chicken Shawarma at home!. Beats take out any day of the week end is perfect for Work or School Lunch. Plus my creamy white Mayonnaise for Chicken Shawarma adds a bright creamy.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN SHAWARMA AT HOME?

I find that boneless skinless chicken thighs are the best cut for shawarmas. They are made less expensive than breast meat and also much juicer. You get a better result without sacrificing Taste. You just cannot beat that! you can use chicken breast. If you like leaner meat. I would even suggest using half breasts and half thighs if you can let' go over all of the ingredients.

First things first you are going to marinate the chicken. If you like a more taste flavor use more Lemon Juice. Ground Cardamom smells so good, and just a little bit goes a very long away. All of the spices are going to add tons of flavor. Measure that the chicken and onions are fully coated in the marinate and put it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. For maximum flavor may could also marinate it over night for 6 to 8 hours.

I just find that anytime I make chicken shawarma that i like to make bigger batch. It's great for taking to work or sending with the kid's school. So if " I am going to make big batch. Also cooking it on the stove top will create a lot of smoke and you will have to wash the pan out many times. That's why i prefer to do it on the grill or in the oven.

Cook this under the broiler for 16 to 18 minutes, flipping the chicken over about half way through. The chicken will get nice and golden brown. Let it sit and rest for about 10 minutes, then go ahead and slice into strips. Put it in a big bowl and combine it with all of those delicious onions that have caramelized and softened.
