Tips & Secrets
- Using Greek yogurt is the secret to a thick marinade that stays attached to the meat during roasting.
- Adding a tiny pinch of cinnamon provides that authentic Middle Eastern aroma that defines Shawarma.
- Searing the chicken in batches is crucial; overcrowding the pan will make the meat release juices and become tough.
- Wrap the shawarma in butter paper or foil for 5 minutes before eating to allow the flavors to merge perfectly.
