This Chicken Shawarma recipe is going to knock your socks off! Just a handful of every day spices makes an incredible Chicken Shawarma marinade that infuses the chicken with exotic Middle Eastern flavours. The smell when this is cooking is insane!

This is one of my signature recipes that will be very familiar to all my friends because I make this so often. It's off the charts for effort vs output: just a handful of everyday spices, garlic, a splash of lemon and olive oil transforms into the most incredible flavour.

When this chicken is cooking, the smell is incredible. Incredible!!! This Chicken Shawarma is how I met most of my neighbours when I lived in a townhouse complex. The courtyard was out the front and when I had friends round for a BBQ, random people I had never met before popped their head up over the fence, wanting to know what on earth I was making. They were elated when I handed out samples!

This, along with the Vietnamese Noodles with Lemongrass Chicken, are two of my most frequently made foods when I'm cooking for a crowd because it's easy to make loads, they are both great "lay it all out and let everyone serve themselves" type foods (I'm a big fan of food like that), and it travels well. I've made this multiple times on camping trips (along with the Vietnamese Noodles and Greek Gyros!).

Plus, there are always willing blokes around to take control of the BBQ (beer in hand) while us girls sit back sipping wine. That's an arrangement that suits me great! 😉

HOW TO SERVE CHICKEN SHAWARMA

There are two main ways to serve Chicken Shawarma. As Chicken Shawarma wraps - with tomato, lettuce, and a simple yoghurt sauce on the side. Other optional extras include: red onion, cheese (query authenticity? But that's ok!!), hummus, hot sauce / chilli sauce.

And the other way is with rice and salads on the side. Thought I usually do serve pita bread or another type of flatbread as well, just because it's very on theme. ☺️ Here, the Chicken Shawarma is pictured with Mejadra which is a Middle Eastern lentil rice (seriously so good you can / will want to eat it just by itself!) and a Middle Eastern Chickpea Salad (I skip the spicing of chickpeas otherwise there's just too much kapow spices going on).

This recipe was part of a 7 course Arabian Feast menu that I shared 2 years ago. I didn't get around to redoing all the recipes, but I will one day! I love that menu because so much of it can be prepared ahead, and there's lots of common ingredients. Get yourself organised, eliminate distractions and commit to your kitchen temporarily being a war zone and you'll get most the prep done in 1 hour. 🙂

Be prepared for the amazing smells when you're cooking this Chicken Shawarma! - Nagi xx

PS Try your hand at making your own flatbreads. My recipe is made without yeast so they're super easy!

LIFE OF DOZER

This shot pretty much encompasses how utterly predictable Dozer is:

✅ Skulking near a big pile of meat

✅ Squeezing himself under a tiny table laden with said food

✅ Eyes sparkling at the possibilities

✅ Licking his lips in anticipation
