Shawarma de Frango is a delightful explosion of savory, tangy, and herbaceous flavors. The marinated chicken provides a rich, savory base, balanced by the creamy, nutty tahini sauce and the fresh, crisp vegetables.
The primary flavor profile comes from the chicken, which is typically marinated in a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garlic, lemon juice, and sometimes a touch of cinnamon or cardamom. This marinade infuses the chicken with a warm, aromatic, and slightly spicy character. The tahini sauce, made from ground sesame seeds, lemon juice, garlic, and water, adds a creamy, nutty, and tangy element. Finally, the fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and parsley provide a refreshing counterpoint, adding crunch and vibrancy to the overall flavor experience. Pickled vegetables like turnips or cucumbers can also contribute a salty, sour taste.

Marinating the Chicken
Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. Use a high-quality marinade with a balanced blend of spices and acids (like lemon juice or vinegar) to tenderize the chicken.
Tahini Sauce Consistency
Adjust the consistency of the tahini sauce to your preference. Add water gradually until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture that's easy to drizzle.
Pita Bread Preparation
Warm the pita bread lightly before filling it to make it more pliable and prevent it from tearing. You can warm it in a dry skillet, oven, or microwave.
Meat Rotation for Shawarma
Properly rotating the meat when it is on a vertical spit, helps the meat cook evenly. For example, rotating the meat every couple of minutes or so ensures that the layers of meat will cook and brown well.
