Chicken Shawarma image

Easy and delicious chicken shawarma recipe. You will notice that the marinade and sauce are mostly identical, so you can simply mix all of the marinade/sauce ingredients together, minus the olive oil and tahini, and divide in two. Add the olive oil to the marinade, and reserve the rest for the sauce. If you do this, however, do not add the tahini until you are ready to use it, as it will significantly thicken the sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken shawarma, but this recipe was actually really good! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the spices were well-balanced. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they were still very moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the spices were not very flavorful. I probably won't be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the spices were all wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
