Shawarma-Spice Chicken

[MacKenzie]

A new to me recipe but it sounded good so here it is- but

before I start here is the first ripe Tiny Tim tomato from my plant. You can see the thick juice holding the 2 halves together at the bottom.

Marinated the boneless skinless chicken thighs in the sauce and vacuumed sealed for a few hours before putting them on the grill.

On the grill-

Cooked at 300-325F until the internal temp said they were done.

Earlier in the day I made up the yogurt-tahini sauce, and the salad.

   

For the last 5 mins. of the cook I had the homemade pita wrapped in foil and on the grill.

Slice the chicken.

Now for the build-

Plated and I rolled it up and ate it that way messy as it was.:)

Up Close.

I used this recipe with some modifications, just used the ingredients I had. Mostly changed the veggies for the salad and I also didn't have any mint.

@MacKenzie - gorgeous pics of a gorgeous cook!  And that tomato picture is simply beautiful.  A Chef of great renown, a gardener of some kind of repute, and a food stylist and photographer!  Is there anything you don't do well?  Kudos all around.

Note to self:  Do not, repeat do not, come in here before dinner time (and without dinner fare planned :D).   Super looking cook MacKenzie!

Wow super cook Mac everything looks amazing

Tomato looks awesome. I had my first off my plants tonight with my dinner salad. OK, a bit watery, but lots of others in various stages on the plants to look forward to! 

You put that broccolini in there just to mess with me, didn't you, MacKenzie! 

Has anyone done a true shawarma on their KK - stacked the chicken pieces onto a vertical rod??

You guessed it, as soon as I saw that in the fridge I though, "Ohhh, Tony B would love this."

Dannnng I'm so hungry...2 more hours until dinner. That looks FaBULOUS.

Thanks, Shuley. By mistake I added double the amount of cayenne pepper that the recipe called for but it turned to be just the right amount for my tastes.:)

I'm also a fan of cayenne heat. Unfourtunately， I have to scale it back a bit for my kiddos but I bet once they are older they will like heat more.

Have you tried makiing Hummus ?  One of my favorites.  I thiink it would go well with your Shwarma.

[MacKenzie]

Thanks, EGGARY, no but maybe next time. Thanks for the suggestion.

Your cooks are marvelous 

what are you cooking the chicken on?  Grill grates?

Mtroo, thank you very much.  The chicken thighs are in the top half of a broiler pan that came with the toaster oven. I didn't want a solid pan so used only the part with the slits in the bottom.
