  1. I love shawarma so much n was so happy when I saw your video. Will definitely try this but need the container to get it done.

  2. Might be a dumb question but can you do this but on flatter stacks on a baking pan? Flipping them periodically?

  3. Is it better to cook it…
    Horizontally, the Greek way
    Or
    Vertically the, Turkish way?
    Personally I feel, the Greek way makes the chicken fat fall it into the fire. At least we are not eating it.
    Come on people let's have a Turkey vs Greece fight.

  4. Took me by surprise when you said your sponsor carries all the good healthy stuff you and your wife love; I've never heard you refer to Marcus that way before.😏

  5. I crisp up chicken skins in my cast iron as a treat for my dog and to collect the schmaltz. No idea why I had to see Sunny doing them in the oven to realize that doing them in the oven would be so much less tedious 😅

  6. Like any multi cultural dish, which each group of people or region bring their own twist to it, Lebanese style chicken shawarma has much lesser spices. In restaurants where spits hold 70+ lbs of chicken meat, garlic is not used in the marinade as it will impart an unwanted smell after more than 5/6 hours of vertical grilling, especially stemming from the already cooked inside layers of the spit . For home versions, it is included. Spices are simply, white pepper, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Optional spices, sweet paprika, never the smoked one, with a possibility of a touch of cardamom and or mastic ( usually forming part of beef/lamb spices mix). Two fruits are used to bring up acidity, lemon juice and orange juice with 3/4 to 1/4 ratio respectively. Few pieces of lemon rinds are kept into this mix, while then discarded before cooking. Vinegar in the marinade is a no go for chicken version while it’s the main source of acidity in its meat counterpart with a help from a touch of orange juice ( a top quality red grape vinegar will make a big difference in this instance against a lower grade variety). Chicken used is a deboned and skin on chicken, each piece before deboning around 2.5lbs. My two cents as an avid shawarma lover, and former 2nd gen shawarma restaurant owner.

  7. For the chicken skin, i bake until crispy and i let it cool , grind it and use it as Chicken bouillon powder.
    It is a great idea to make a Lahmojen shawarma rap.
