PRO TIP: For the most authentic experience, remember to let your chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking before slicing. Don’t feel limited to pan cooking – this marinade works beautifully for grilled chicken shawarma on the barbecue as well. If you love the sauce as much as we do, consider making extra and storing it in the fridge for up to a week. And for a lighter, wholesome alternative, try serving your shawarma chicken over a fresh salad instead of in bread.
