Homemade Chicken Shawarma easy recipe

Chicken Shawarma

Chicken Shawarma is a middle eastern dish. It can be served in pita pockets with garlic sauce ,onion, pickles and fries. Or, Shawarma Bowl(rice on the bottom and then chicken shawarma topped with pickled and garlic sauce.

 Chicken shawarma is very easy to make and it's healthy.

Do you always ask yourself how these restaurants make their shawarma?

I think everybody can make it, it's super easy. You might need a specific grill . But, don't worry i didn't use or buy the shawarma grill.

I used skewers to hold the chicken vertically and of course oven to bake. (It's better to use the metal skewers)
