I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shawarma didn't turn out very well. The chicken was dry and the flavors were bland.

I made this shawarma for my family last night, and they all loved it! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the tahini sauce was perfect.

I'm not a big fan of tahini sauce, so I substituted Greek yogurt instead. The shawarma was still delicious, and I'll definitely be making it again.

I had a bit of trouble getting the chicken to cook all the way through, but other than that the shawarma was delicious.

The shawarma marinade was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall the dish was still good.
