This homemade shawarma features chicken marinated in a blend of warm spices, lemon juice, and garlic, then cooked until tender and slightly charred. While traditional shawarma is cooked on a vertical rotisserie, this version achieves similar results using a skillet or grill. Serve in pita bread with garlic sauce and vegetables for an authentic street food experience.
