Oven Roasted Chicken Shawarma

Oven Roasted Chicken Shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern dish made by marinating thin slices of chicken in a blend of aromatic spices, then stacking them on a vertical rotisserie. As the chicken cooks and becomes tender and flavorful, it's shaved off and typically served in a warm pita or flatbread, accompanied by fresh vegetables and creamy sauces like garlic sauce or tahini. The result is a savory, satisfying meal known for its bold flavors and enticing aroma.
