Notes about this recipe

A scrumptious recipe! I had never heard of 'shawarma' and it is one of the best street foods in the world, typical of Egypt. It is cooked in a similar way like doner kebabs. The marinade gives the meat a fantastic flavour. You can taste it already while you are cooking the chicken! It makes your mouth water. The first time I served it with Lebanese bread, but you can use pita bread or just served in a platter with other vegetables and pickles.

Yum, this is the shawarma I’ve been looking for. The marinade is spicy with a touch of heat and keeps the chicken moist on the inside. We loved it!

Fully agree with Kduncan and TrishaCP, I would marinate the chicken much longer than 30 minutes and the sides were a bit bland. But the marinade was definitely delicious and I will make it again. Next time with flat bread instead of pitta.

Marinated the chicken overnight. My biggest problem with this is the chicken is great, but I wish there was a bit more spicing for the red onion/tomato/yogurt filing, that is the part that fell flat.

These made for a great, quick dinner. I marinated the chicken for about two hours, but I would go for overnight next time (if I can plan far enough in advance) for extra flavor.
