Ingredients

  • 1 kg Chicken Thighs
  • 1 tbs Coriander
  • 1 tbs Cumin
  • 1 tbs Cardamom
  • 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tbs Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbs Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • Splash Lemon Juice
  • Sliced Lettuce
  • Sliced Tomato
  • 6 Pita Bread

Instructions

1
Combine the marinade components in a large ziplock bag (or mixing bowl).
2
mix in the chicken and use your hands to make sure each piece is coated.
3
If using a ziplock bag, I find it convenient to close the bag then massage the bag to disperse the rub all over each chicken piece.
4
scented element overnight or up to 24 hours.
5
Combine the Yoghurt gravy components in a mixing bowl and combine.
6
put a lid on and put in the fridge until required (it will last for 3 days in the fridge).
7
mildly hot barbecue/BBQ (or large heavy based skillet on stove) on medium high.
8
You should not need to cooking oil it because the marinade has cooking oil in it and also thigh fillets have fat.
9
But if you are worried then cooking oil your hotplate/barbecue.
10
(See notes for baking) Place chicken on the barbecue and prepare the first side for 4 to 5 moments until nicely charred, then turn and prepare the other side for 3 to 4 moments (the 2nd side takes less time).
11
Remove chicken from the barbecue and put a lid on loosely with foil.
12
Set aside to rest for 5 moments.
13
TO present shred chicken and pile onto platter alongside flatbreads, Salad and the Yoghurt gravy.
14
To make a wrap, get a piece of flatbread and smear with Yoghurt gravy.
15
Top with a bit of lettuce and tomato and Chicken Shawarma.
16
Roll up and enjoy!.
