Shawarma Seasoned Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

Serves 2–4
  • 4 chicken thighs (boneless optional for bowls/wraps)
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1½ tsp sumac
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp clove
  • 1½ tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • Juice of ½ large lemon

Method

  1. Combine all spices with the chicken thighs in a container and shake to coat thoroughly. Marinate for 20 minutes to overnight.
  2. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Sear chicken skin-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 4–5 minutes until browned. Flip and transfer to the oven for 35–40 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Serve with a lemon yogurt tahini salad, brown rice, or in a wrap with beet hummus and pickled turnips.

Notes: Alternatively, cook in an air fryer and cut the time down by about half!
