Ingredients for this recipe:
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 teaspoon green cardamom pods
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 ½ tablespoons coarse salt
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon cayenne
• 1/3 cup full-fat yogurt
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• Zest and juice of 2 lemons
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 8 finely minced garlic cloves
• 1” peeled piece of freshly grated ginger
• 3 to 3 ½ pounds total boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs
Serves 6
Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook time: 1 ½ hours
Procedures:
1. This is optional, but add the whole black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods to a medium-sized sauté pan and cook while occasionally stirring over low to medium heat until the spices become very fragrant, which takes about 4 to 6 minutes.
2. Add them to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind until finely ground.
3. Add the spices along with the cayenne, turmeric, paprika, garlic, ginger, salt, yogurt, oil, lemon juice, tomato paste, and vinegar to a large bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
4. Gently pound the boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs until they are about ¼” to ½” thick. The goal is for them to be flat in all areas for even cooking.
5. Add the pounded chicken to the bowl of spices and yogurt and thoroughly mix to coat. Once mixed, cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 to 48 hours.
6. Next, remove the chicken from the bowl and layer it onto a vertical skewer, firmly stacking it until all the chicken is used.
7. Place on a rack in the lower third of the oven at 375° and cook for 1:15 to 1:30 or until it reads 165° internally.
8. Remove the chicken, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, and then thinly shave it using a sharp knife.
9. Serve as is or with assorted accompaniments or in a pita wrap. See the video below for other easy cooking methods if you do not have a vertical skewer. In addition, you’ll see how I make it into a wrap.

That onion and skewer hack is brilliant!
Dam that looks good. I traveled the Middle East for over 24 years as a Military contractor and had my share of great Shawarmas. Yours looks very good. Very nicely done. I love tabouli and toum as well.
I love the alternate tools. Well done video my friend
Wow, I've just run through half a dozen of your recipes - and I'm completely hooked! Tu signore, sei un genio culinario!

Many thanks!
You're using your lemon-juicer incorrectly! Turn the citrus flesh-side down. Squeeze hard, so that every bit of juice is extracted, and you end up with the peel cup turned inside-out. It's weird to me no-one told you this. Watch any Mexican food channel and you'll see it used correctly. (I mean, whatever. You still got juice, right? But.. it'd be like using scissors with the other hand. They sort of still work.) This dish looked fabulous. I can't wait to try your version.

Yes. So much yes.
I've tried Shawarma many times. This is the best method, because of homage to history and fundamentals!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!❤and I love ❤🎉learning new recipes!!!!❤🎉🎉🎉
The easiest way is to follow this recipe with the marinade/spice mix etc but just slice up the chicken and put on metal skewers and broil/grill the skewers. It is fantastic. I have made the with the onion and the full meat pile, while good it just looks a very long time to cook (like 2 or more hours).
My favorite!!
Thanks for the useful cooking workaround!
When you use that bowl style juicer, place the cut side of the citrus down. That way you not only juice, you invert the peel to get the zest.

Trust me I’ve experimented with this ad nauseam through my restaurant days, and the way I did It extracts way more juice
I love chicken shawarma! It’s one dish I can never get tired of.
This looks delicious!
loved it
Wow! I love chicken or beef shawarma, wonderful recipe ❤
You down it this time. MY great chef. From a humble chicken ,you made the testy dish.
Now that looks Super Delicious 😋😋😋😋 💙💙💙💙
I really love that you always show so many options and substitutions, especially the sheet pan, bakers rack, onion, and wooden skewer. You make things so doable for the common cook. Thank you. By the way, pronunciations are kinda ridiculous, everyone pronounces things differently, but I think it’s good to try to do all things as right as possible. Thanks again, God bless.
❤ I like the first method
Hope no one stopped watching when they saw the specialty metal vertical skewer, excited to try the onion baking sheet hack!
love shawarma, and love your videos! so glad I stumbled upon them. subscribing!! also, just a quite note to let you know that when using a citrus squeezer, you place the cut side of the fruit down towards the bowl - seems counterproductive, I know, but it works much better. hope you give it a try,.
Well Billy, after our little conversation about tahini, I thought I’d give this a go, I have the upright gas grill, but it’s no good in the UK winter ATM, so I ordered the pan with a skewer and I thought I’d give this a go, I’m not sure it’s very authentic because we have some top notch Lebanese shawarma joints nearby, but the taste of your marinade was epic, and I’ll be doing it again, obviously with tahini, but bravo chef.
7:15 or you can simply chop meat in small parts and fry in a pan. You can find it done this way in a lot of Lebanese or Turkish restaurants, so is also original.

The skewers are best, but not everyone has them.
The first time, being the first viewer, commenter, and thumbs-upper! Great video.
Looks fantastic, only thing missing is some tahini sauce and pickled chillis

While it is a traditional accommodation, I’m not a fan of tahini sauce on it, but I do O.D. on Toum.

Thanks for this! Could this work on a horizontal rotisserie on a charcoal grill? Or is there something special about the vertical rotisserie?
Aloha. Looks awesome, thanks for the ghetto version with the skewers. Did you pre soak in water prior?
Why do you cook such amazing food? LOL
Looks great love Israeli Shana is the best 👍🇮🇱
Shawerma is also famous in Jordan and other arabic countries

Hey, Chef - just a little tip, you're using the citrus juicer backwards. Put the lime half in the other way.

Watching this made me fancy some shawarma. So I looked up the menu at a Lebanese restaurant and found out that they're selling shawarma wraps at $26 a piece. 😱
Great looking recipe but that is the backwards way to use that juicer! 😂

Looks fantastic and will definitely try. BUT you squeezed the juice wrongly. The lemon goes in face down opposite the curve. Counter-intuitive, as one would expect to have the curves match. But that is not the most effective way.

No, I didn’t, you get way more juice doing it like this. I can promise you working in restaurants for 15 years. I’ve tried every way possible and the way that I do it it extracts the most juice.
