HOMEMADE CHICKEN SHAWARMA WITH BEN STILLER AND AHMED BADR RECIPE BY TASTY
Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish that's become a popular street food around the world, but it's easy enough to make in your own kitchen. This recipe calls for boneless skinless chicken thighs that are marinated in a fragrant mixture of spices. Bake the chicken in the oven, then toss it into pita bread with cucumber, tomatoes, pickles, and a homemade white sauce made with Greek yogurt and lemon juice.

Steps:
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together.
- Add the chicken thighs and coat evenly.
- Cover and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours
- Prepare the sauce by adding all sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Mix together and chill until ready to serve.
- Adjust the oven rack about 6 inches (15 cm) from the top heat source in your oven, then preheat the broiler.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and a wire rack.
- Place chicken in single layer on prepared wire rack, with the smooth sides down. Broil until chicken is well browned and registers at least 165˚F (74˚C), about 16-20 minutes. You may need to rotate the sheet pan halfway through if your broiler heats unevenly. Remove and rest the chicken for 5 minutes before handling, and turn off the oven.
- While chicken rests, warm your pitas in the still-warm oven for a few minutes.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips and transfer to platter.
- Serve with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles, prepared yogurt sauce, and warm pita.
- Enjoy!
