Chicken shawarma can be made at home with the right spice blend and techniques recommended by chef CJ Jacobson. The essential spices include cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, coriander, paprika, fresh garlic, cardamom, ginger powder, orange juice, and lemon juice. Proper marination for at least three hours enhances flavor absorption. If short on time, using a spice mix with olive oil and citrus is an alternative. Fresh herbs like parsley can also elevate the dish, ensuring a flavorful and enjoyable shawarma experience.
The best option is to let the chicken marinate with the spices, citrus juices, and olive oil or Greek yogurt, letting it absorb the flavors.
To replicate chicken shawarma at home, use a spice blend including cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, and citrus for a balance of flavors.
Be generous with the spices so that the chicken absorbs plenty of flavor; marinate for at least three hours for optimal results.
