Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons WAHA! Chicken Shawarma Spice Mix
  • 1 teaspoon WAHA! Aleppo Red Pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Whisk Greek yogurt, orange juice, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and WAHA! Chicken Shawarma Spice Mix in a large bowl.
  2. Add chicken thighs and toss until evenly coated. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or heat a grill to medium-high.
  4. For oven: arrange chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and roast 25–30 minutes, until browned and cooked through. For grill: cook 5–6 minutes per side.
  5. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  6. Serve in warm pita with pickles, tomatoes, shredded lettuce and a swipe of Lebanese toum.

Pantry tip: This recipe is built around WAHA! Chicken Shawarma Spice Mix — the same blend we pack in small batches. Add a pinch of Aleppo Red Pepper if you like extra heat.
