So glad to hear it, thanks for watching

Super pumped to be getting two episodes a week. Don't burn yourself out Bri!

I appreciate your energy so much. Super excited that you're boosting the output!

I love your reasoning on this being "fun food". So easy to get caught up in the whole "but this isn't authentic therefore I shalt not make it" thing and forget that sometimes, if it tastes good, go for it. Definitely going to be making this this week! Thank you!

Love the weeknighting idea!! I need something in a reasonable timeframe with available ingredients and I love some cultural diversity in my food. Helps me get familiar with different flavor profiles so when I do want to go out I will be more adventurous with my restaurant choices. Plus, the extra proteins are good leftovers for salads or veggie bowls. Thank you!!

The tomato trick with the cutting is gold. You always manage to cover something that I need to up my cooking game in every video!

This is excellent, more people need to start making shawarma at home, it's so easy! I took it one step further and bought a standing rotisserie grill, it's amazing for shawarma and it wasn't expensive at all. Can really recommend it to anyone who wants to make dishes like these.

So glad we're getting 2 videos a week. I was looking for a shwarma recipe for tomorrow. Perfect timing. Can't wait to try it. Thank you!!

I tried this. It looks so simple yet it tastes so delicious and balanced. Substantial yet refreshing at the same time. Thank you!!

Thank you for your channel! I’ve never been into cooking, but I’m trying make things easier for my wife who is super into good food! This is one of the first things I’ve made that she’s asked me to make again and actually said “we should have company over to have this”! I’ve made it three times now and appreciate you content so much! I’ve been checking out a ton of your other videos! Thanks again.

Absolutely loving these DIY-at-home-on-a-weeknight recipes. Kickass stuff

I made this for dinner today and it was amazing!!! So easy and tasty. I just had to change the foil once because the marinade that wasn’t on the chicken was burning too much. Thank you so much for the recipe! I’m excited for this weeknighting series lol.

Love the weeknighting idea, quick and tasty to complement the more labor intensive recipes when I have more time.

This has become one of my three favorite cooking channels, along with Food Wishes (of course) and Sam The Cooking Guy. You make learning good cooking skills fun, and the recipes are great; that's what it's about.

I was super hyped for this video! Can't wait to make these!

Hi Bri! Really like the taco series. Great tip on tomatoes, using vine ripened ones off season and how to cut them! Take care and peace!

This is a banger of a recipe and a go-to option when I have chicken thighs in the fridge. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

Hey, perfect timing! I was just looking at the packages of boneless/skinless chicken thighs in my freezer, wondering what to do, and wa-la Chick Shawarma! Looks incredible, thanks for the tips.

Loving these weeknighting vids. Been looking for ways I can cook and be creative in the kitchen without hours of planning and prep.

Another hit! This will become a regular in the rotation. Would even make this for company. So tasty! My husband doesn't like cucumber, so I diced some on its own for myself and made our usual tomato salsa for tacos (diced cherry tomatoes, minced red chili, juice of a lime, lots of cilantro, splash of olive oil, salt -- the lime from the salsa paired extremely well with the spices on the chicken). Topped ours with shredded cabbage instead of lettuce because it's what we had. Didn't have any dill pickles but had homemade pickled red onions and pickled jalapenos which were awesome on these fusion tacos. Just great! Thank you, Brian, for another winning recipe.

I always look forward to your videos coming out! Can’t wait to try this recipe out!

Phenomenal! Subbed in a pita pocket for the tortilla and watched the family devour them. Thank you!

Awesome Bri, the finished product looks excellent and I cannot wait to give this a try

I love how original this recipe is.

This Weeknighting series is gonna be A BANGER!!!

I'm becoming a huge taco fan thanks to you Brian (not a big thing over here in the UK), the shrimp one is off the charts, and I'm making this ASAP, I even made a taco board in my workshop to hold these bad boys while the family organise themselves. Keep it up man.

Welcome to the club t8yman!! Taco's rock!! My son in law will eat anything if in a taco lol

Tried this last night and it was excellent. The tahini sauce was next level - superb compliment to the chicken. I chucked in some red onion into the tomato/cucumber salad and I would recommend doing that.

I can't express how delightful, and delicious this recipe is while still being somewhat healthy. It's amaaaazing. I did a few tweaks, like making a garlic mayo sauce instead of tahini sauce, making the tomato salad with cilantro and a little lime juice instead of parsley, and adding a bit of cinnamon to the marinade. Truly excellent and I especially love the juicy flavorful chicken in combo with rich garlicky sauce and acidic ingredients to balance it all 😍😍😍😍. Thank you!!!!!!!

Love these weeknight videos Chef. This one looks great!

Excellent recipe Brian! I will definitely be trying this one. For the pickled peps, I like to add a pinch of turmeric. It brightens the color and doesn't affect the taste in a bad way at all. Cheers!

This is a really great recipe. I’ve made it many times in the last few months and we love it more each time. Thank you!!! Your Gyros recipe is next.

I recently subbed and am working my way through previous videos. I think this one is my fav thus far in terms of the sound effects, pauses for emphasis, and other humorous aspects. Oh, and the food looks great too. 😂

Weeknights is a dope series. Thanks Bri!

Thanks for your many ideas. This looks great and will no doubt be in my rotations.

Love fun food. Specially, when you get to improvise with the ingredients you have at home

Looks great. I find it interesting that shawarma in Canada (or Ontario at least) looks different. The shawarma I am used to has pickled cabbage, pickled turnips, pickles, onion and tomato. Usually hummus, tahini and hot sauce are the condiments.

Made this yesterday and I gotta say....absolutely, insanely delicious

Thank you for this method of making chicken. I had become disenfranchised with chicken in general. I have adopted this style for almost every kind of chicken I eat. Indian, italian, mexican seasoning. it works fantastically well.

Yum. Will try it this week. Thanks for sharing.

Dude Yes! Reading our minds Bri, thanks!

You always give good advice!! THANK YOUUUU!!

One of my all time favorite dishes

Finally got around to making this one, best thing I've made in a while. Made some pita bread to eat it on too. The broiled chicken with the yogurt marinade is a technique I will use for other dishes as well, it was very juicy.

Fire title. This series is gonna be great! So happy to see Brian fully hitting his stride. Don’t forget us when your channel takes off 😂

Hey Bri, great recipe! Turned out delicious.

Love the WEEKNIGHTING recipes.

Best recipe ever!! I will be eating this 5 days a week now !

Just made this for dinner tonight and OMG so so delicious! Definitely will make again…and again.and…

I made this a few days ago, I imagined it would be delicious but was surprised at how yummy every bite was! I left out the tahini sauce though because, even though I try, I just cannot like tahini! I made a spicy mayo instead. This recipe is an absolute winner!

Love this idea. Lots of grocery stores near me sell small pitas which I think would be a great substitute for the tortilla. First time watching your videos. Definitely going to check out some more.

Dude!!!! This cooking method is genius!! I swear it tasted better than most Shawarma places in my city. I will definitely cook chicken like this from now on. Very fast and absolute fantastic flavor with perfect char, no need for a BBQ grill.

Wow, this is AMAZING

Definitely adding some ingredients to my shopping list after this one, that chicken looks freaking great

I made these a couple of days ago, for my roommate and a friend. Only difference was I used another dressing and adjusted the pico de gallo a bit (added a bit of onion, 2 cloves of garlic and a solid handfull of basil). And we all loved this. The marinade is so good and if you have the option, I highly recommend throwing the chicken on a (gas)grill. The grilled flavor compliments the marinade so well. This is definitly on the weeknight menu from now on. And with a gas grill it's not really a hassle :) Thank you for this great recipe! :D

So tolle Rezepte. Schön gemacht.

Made this for dinner tonight. It was super easy and a huge hit.

I’ll try this. Simple single guy. I need satisfying food. Thanks.

Subscribed! Great channel Brian and I look forward to watching your videos. Very inspirational stuff for the home chef. And that chicken marinade is fantastic. I’ve seen a similar one in a contemporary Greek cookbook (kokkari), is one I use often. Love what you’re sharing with the community. 🙌🙌🙌

I made this tonight! It was very good, even though I didn’t get great char and it took me longer. Next time, I’ll use a little less yogurt in the marinate and throw the chicken on the grill. I served with some rotis you pan fry up real quick (sold in the freezer aisle at your local Indian grocery store). Very tasty!

Happy Monday, Mr. Lagerstrom! (It's not as much fun as late in the academic salt mines week). However, such a nice surprise! You have a great talent for making intermediary cooking of all kinds accessible to anyone who wants to try and I applaud that (It is rare)! Congratulations on almost 200K subs!

Thanks Linda! Good luck in the mines

Very cool, Great marriage of my two favorite cuisines, mexican and middle eastern. I used to try to replicate chicken shwarma or Shish Taouk as we called it in Montreal by broiling chicken thighs with loads of garlic. I would buy the pickled turnips at the grocery and make a garlic sauce or use hummus to marry the flavours. Would use real pitas and dress with chopped tomatoes and onions. I like the idea of the tortillas just because their shelf life is so much better and the pico would make it a bit lighter. well done.

Oh Wow!! This looks so soooo good! 💖

Made the chicken and "pico de gallo" for dinner tonight and it was incredible. Super flavorful chicken (marinated 5 hours) was perfect along with the fresh pico. I was out of tahini, so I ended up making a tzatziki sauce and couldn't get fresh banana peppers so used jarred banana peppers. Perfect light, healthy dinner! I used FF greek yogurt too.

0:22 is priceless. Your videos make me laugh almost/if not every time!

Just finished cleaning up the dishes after eating this. Great recipe! I naturally wanted to use pickled red onions instead of peperoncinos but I’m glad I trusted you with them, it was great!

Fun food, as you said! I think that a shawarma taco is a great meeting of Mexican and Middle Eastern food. I gotta add sumac to my shawarma spice blend but that's not a widely available spice. Great idea for adding pickled peppers to the taco. I love pickled vegetables but onions and peppers are at the top for sure. They're wonderful for adding dimension to many dishes.
