Summer grilling season would not be complete without trying a kabob recipe. This carefree recipe for Shawarma Chicken Kabobs marinates chicken in aromatic spices like clove, coriander, cumin, and cardamom, along with lemon, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Skewer it up with some fresh veggies and you will be very happy with the crowd-pleasing results.
What is Shawarma?
The word “shawarma” comes from the Turkish word çevirme, which means “turning.” It’s thin slices of meat on a rotating vertical spit, covered in a mouthwatering array of spices. This Shawarma Chicken Kabobs recipe is, by some standards, not technically a shawarma, since we didn’t make it on a vertical spit. However, it’s shawarma style due to the spices we used in this kabob recipe. The combination of coriander, cumin, paprika, and garlic are typical to what meat marinates in for shawarma.
