Ingredients

CHICKEN SHAWARMA

  • 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless & skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons allspice
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions 

  1. Chop the chicken thighs into small chunks.
  2. To a large bowl, add the chopped chicken thighs, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and all the spices. Mix to marinade evenly. For more flavor, you can let it marinade for 30 minutes or even overnight in the fridge.
  3. After marinating, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, make sure they have soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. I like to add about 6 to 7 pieces onto each skewer.
  4. Add the skewers to the air fryer and air fry for about 6 to 8 minutes at 400°F. Rotate the skewers and air fry again for about 6 to 8 minutes so both sides are golden.
  5. Then take it out of the air fryer and serve warm!
