Homemade Shawarma
Make homemade shawarma in the oven! This easy, juicy recipe requires no special tools and delivers all the flavor.
Ingredients
- 800 grams skinless, boneless chicken thighs (pounded thinner)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp shawarma seasoning
- 1 small red onion
- 1 clove garlic
- salt, to taste (keep in mind that some seasoning blends are salty)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a bowl, mix the pounded chicken thighs with olive oil, shawarma seasoning, grated garlic, salt, and most of the thinly sliced red onion (set aside a few thicker slices for the topping).
- Line an English cake pan with parchment paper and layer the seasoned chicken mixture evenly in the pan.
- Arrange the thicker onion slices on top of the chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Once ready, slice the shawarma thinly. If serving in pita, drain any excess liquids to avoid sogginess. If not, feel free to keep the juices—they’re delicious and packed with flavor!
