Directions

  1. Place all the marinade ingredients (olive oil, Shawarma seasoning, lemon juice) into a zip lock bag with the chicken thighs and shake to coat. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours.  
  2. When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 220C. Remove the marinated chicken from the bag and thread onto a meat/wooden skewer – placing half of the onion at the base and half at the top.   
  3. Cook in the oven on 220C for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180C and heat for 30 minutes until nicely coloured and the juices run clear.  
  4. Serve on a warm plate and top with pickled red onions and coriander, with a garlic yoghurt, plus your choice of sides.
