Instructions
The Chicken Shawarma
In a small bowl, mix the cumin, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, sweet paprika and cloves. Set aside the shawarma spice mix for now.
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt on both sides, then thinly slice into small bite-sized pieces.
Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the shwarma spices and toss to coat. Add the onions, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss everything together again. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or more. If you don't have time, you can cut or skip marinating time, it will still be delicious.
When ready, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it sit in room temperature for a few minutes.
Spread the marinated chicken with the onions in one layer on a large lightly-oiled baking sheet pan. Roast for 30 minutes in the 425 degrees F heated-oven. For a more browned, crispier chicken, move the pan to the top rack and broil very briefly (watch carefully). Remove from the oven.
Because ovens vary, be sure to check chicken at about 25 minutes or so of roasting/baking and go from there. Chicken is ready when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
The Tahini Sauce
Mince the garlic and season with salt
Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies.) Add a little bit of water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
Use only a little bit of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Generally, tahini sauce should have a runny, salad dressing-like consistency. But, if you prefer tahini more as a dip, simply use less water.
Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
To Serve
Open pita pockets up. Spread a little tahini sauce add chicken shawarma, arugula, and pickles, if you like. Serve immediately!

Instructions
The Chicken Shawarma
Start with 2.5 lbs of boneless chicken thighs. Trim off any excess fat to the extent you’d like. Add it to a bowl.
Season the chicken well. Add olive oil, salt, fresh cracked pepper, plain yogurt, the lemon juice. Then add thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper, turmeric, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg. Adjust to customer's preferences.
Mix it super well, then thinly slice the red onion and mix it in with the chicken. You ideally let this marinate for 2 or more hours, but if you want to make it right away, you can.
When ready, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Remove the chicken from the fridge and let it come up to room temp (about 30 mins). Then pack the marinated chicken tightly into a bread loaf pan in layers (about 8.5x4.5x2.5). Roast in the oven for 45-55 mins at 425F.
Remove the chicken from the oven, tilt the pan over a glass bowl or container to pour out the excess juices (save the juice to use as broth or to pour over the chicken).
Flip the loaf pan onto a cutting board to remove the chicken and cut it into thin slices or strips.
The Tahini Sauce
Mince the garlic and season with salt
Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies.) Add a little bit of water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
Use only a little bit of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Generally, tahini sauce should have a runny, salad dressing-like consistency. But, if you prefer tahini more as a dip, simply use less water.
Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
For the chopped Veggies
Chop the veggies and place them in a bowl or container.
To Serve
Open pita pockets up. Add chicken shawarma, chopped veggies, pickles, and spread a little tahini sauce if you like. Serve immediately!
