Lebanese Chicken Shawarma Wraps

Marinating the Chicken
Start by preparing the marinade: combine 120 g yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp cinnamon, and salt & pepper. Add 700 g boneless chicken thighs, coating them thoroughly in the vibrant yellow-orange mixture. Let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours, allowing the spices and yogurt to tenderize and flavor the meat deeply.
Roasting the Chicken
Preheat your oven to high heat. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a tray and roast until the edges char and the inside becomes tender and juicy. Once cooked, slice the chicken thinly to mimic traditional shawarma shaved from a spit.
Preparing the Wraps
Warm 4 pieces of pita bread and spread each with a generous layer of garlic sauce (toum). Add the sliced chicken, followed by sliced tomatoes, 100 g pickles, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Roll the pita tightly to form a classic shawarma wrap.
Final Presentation
Slice the shawarma wraps and serve with fries or extra garlic sauce for dipping.

Chicken Shawarma is one of the Middle East’s most beloved street foods juicy, spiced chicken shaved thinly from a rotating spit and wrapped in warm pita with garlic sauce, pickles, and fresh vegetables. While traditional shawarma is cooked on a vertical rotisserie, this home version captures the same flavors through a long marinade and high-heat roasting. The marinade is a fragrant blend of yogurt, lemon, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and garlic. As the chicken roasts, it becomes charred at the edges and incredibly tender inside. Wrapped with toum (garlic sauce), tomatoes, pickles, and parsley, shawarma is a perfect balance of acidity, spice, creaminess, and freshness. Every bite is bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
