Chicken Thigh Shawarma is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish made by marinating chicken thighs in a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, paprika, turmeric, and garlic, often with yogurt or olive oil to tenderize the meat. The chicken is traditionally cooked on a vertical rotisserie, creating juicy, charred layers that are shaved off and served in wraps, bowls, or on plates with accompaniments like hummus, tahini sauce, fresh vegetables, and pickles. Rich in protein, chicken thighs also provide iron and B vitamins, though they are slightly higher in fat compared to chicken breasts. The marinade and traditional additions like olive oil and tahini are sources of healthy fats, while the spices offer antioxidants. However, sodium content can be high if paired with salty sides or heavily seasoned marinades. When served with whole-grain wraps and fresh veggies, it can be a balanced, nutrient-dense meal full of bold flavors.
