  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 750g (1.5 lbs) chicken thigh, boneless and skinless
  • For the Yoghurt Sauce:
  • 120 ml Greek Yoghurt
  • Salt and pepper
  • Handful fresh herbs (Mint, Parsley, Dill, and Coriander), chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • For the Shawarma:
  • 4 flatbreads
  • 200g coleslaw
  • 2 mini cucumbers, sliced
  • 2 gherkins, sliced
  • 4 tbsp pickled red onions

Instructions

Mix all the spices, salt, orange juice, and olive oil into a paste.

Rub it all over the chicken thighs like you’re giving them a luxurious spa treatment.

Let them chill in the fridge for a few hours (or overnight if you’re patient). No time? No problem. Cook them straight away!

Air fryer: 180°C for 17-22 mins, turning once halfway through.

Frying pan: Medium heat for 10-12 mins until beautifully charred.

Mix the Greek yoghurt, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Try not to eat it all with a spoon before assembling.

Warm your flatbreads in a dry pan for a minute.

Smear with that glorious yoghurt sauce.

Pile on the slaw, sliced chicken, cucumbers, gherkins, and pickled onions.

Roll it up, attempt to eat gracefully, fail, and enjoy every bite.
