This chicken shawarma was amazing! The flavors were perfect, and everyone loved it! 5 stars!
So glad to hear you loved it! Shawarma is the best! I could eat it every day! 😋
Soo good!!! Can I use chicken breasts instead? Just wondering!
I tried making this and it didn’t turn out great. The chicken was dry, and I forgot the garlic. Not sure if I did something wrong.
