minutesShawarma is both a dish and a flavor profile. Shawarma from lamb, beef or chicken is a popular street food and is cut from a vertical rotisserie and piled into pita. Our Chicken Shawarma Blend is a flavor combination that brings layers of flavor to meat, vegetables or even a pot of rice. For these kabobs, we dry rub the chicken with our Shawarma Blend and allow it to sit and meld and build big beautiful flavors. A quick roast, then grab pita and Tzatziki. Here’s to street food at home!
