Chicken Shawarma

Step 1

In a large bowl or Ziploc add the lemon juice, oil, and all spices and whisk well. Add the chicken and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover bowl with plastic wrap/seal bag and refrigerate for 3-6 hours. The longer the meat marinates the more flavor you'll have.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Add sliced onion to bowl/bag with chicken and toss well so that the onion is fully coated. Add everything to a 9x13 baking dish. Spread evenly over the baking dish.

Step 3

Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until browned and crisp. Make sure to check for doneness. If you want the chicken crispier on top, turn the broiler on to high and broil for 3 minutes until nice and crispy on the outside.

Step 4

While chicken is cooking, start your rice cooking.

Step 5

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes then top with parsley if using and serve over rice.
