Ingredients

  • 1 large garlic clove , minced (or 2 small cloves)

  • 1 tbsp ground coriander

  • 1 tbsp ground cumin

  • 1 tbsp ground cardamon

  • 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper (reduce to 1/2 tsp to make it not spicy)

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 2 tsp salt

  • Black pepper

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

  • Mix the dry ingredients, add the oil
  • Mix the chicken well, set aside for 2 hours to overnight
  • Grill over charcoal, do not over cook!
  • Chop it roughly for use in Shawarma in Pita!

Notes

  • You could grill, smoke or oven bake the chicken
  • You could use breasts in place of some thighs, but not all…you need the flavour of the thigh here!
  • Goes especially well with our Lebanese Garlic Sauce
