Instructions
Creating Chicken Shawarma with Creamy Garlic Sauce is easy with these clear steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine plain yogurt, olive oil, shawarma spice blend, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they’re well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for optimal flavor).
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Prepare a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
4. Place Chicken on the Sheet: Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Arrange the thighs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.
7. Slice the Chicken: Thinly slice the chicken thighs against the grain for maximum tenderness.
8. Drizzle Creamy Garlic Sauce: Serve the warm sliced chicken topped with the creamy garlic sauce.
9. Garnish if Desired: You can garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro to add a touch of freshness.
