Spicy Chicken Shawarma with Kotasty Spicy Chicken Seasoning

Whether you’re serving it in a wrap, over rice, or with a fresh salad, this recipe will bring a delicious, spicy twist to your table.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Kotasty Spicy Chicken Seasoning
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

  • Warm pita bread or flatbread
  • Sliced cucumbers
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Red onion slices
  • Fresh parsley
  • Tzatziki sauce or garlic sauce

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Kotasty Spicy Chicken Seasoning, cumin, coriander, paprika, minced garlic, yogurt, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor).

2. Cook the Chicken

Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, cook the marinated chicken thighs on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. If using the oven, place the chicken on a lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

3. Slice the Chicken

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, thinly slice the chicken into strips, just like traditional shawarma.

4. Assemble the Shawarma

Warm the pita or flatbread and spread a layer of tzatziki or garlic sauce on top. Add a generous serving of the sliced chicken, and top with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and fresh parsley.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Fold the shawarma wrap and enjoy this flavorful, spicy meal with a side of hummus or salad!
