Tips & Notes
- Let the chicken sit in the spice and lemon mixture for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator, for deeper shawarma flavor.
- Cook the chicken in a single layer and leave it alone for a few minutes so the cumin and paprika char slightly at the edges, the way shawarma should taste.
- Thin the tahini dressing with water or lemon juice until it drizzles. If you buy it ready-made, choose one labeled gluten-free.
