What Are Chicken Shawarma Wraps?

Shawarma is a cooking technique that originated in the Middle East, in which meat pieces are stacked on a spit and rotated slowly to roast in front of a fire. The outer meat is roasted slowly before being shaved/cut to serve. It’s a popular street snack, and the result is soft, tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned meat. Boneless chicken is often used in the Indian version of Shawarma Rolls. It’s then wrapped in pita bread and served with sauce, pickled vegetables and fries.

What goes inside a Chicken Shawarma Roll?

Chicken Boneless Thighs, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, spices, and various sauces make a Chicken Shawarma Roll. These ingredients are combined and being placed on a pita bread that is then rolled.
