Chicken thigh fillets are juicier and do not dry out as easily as chicken breasts. You could substitute them with chicken breasts fillets if thighs are unavailable.
Spices – the spices used are cumin powder, ground coriander, allspice, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. The spices balance and complement each other for that perfect grilled Chicken Shawarma taste.
Yogurt adds tartness to the sauce. Either plain or greek yogurt works well in this recipe.
Mayonnaise – Although this is an optional ingredient, it makes the sauce creamier and balances the tanginess of the yogurt.
Garlic – this is the most important ingredient for the sauce as this gives it flavor.
Lemon juice – The lemon juice in the marinade helps “break down” the meat, allowing the marinade to deeply seep through and infuse the meat with flavor. The lemon juice in the sauce adds a tangy flavor to it.
Pita bread – you can make them yourself or use ready-made ones for convenience. If not available you can also use tortilla wraps.
