Chicken Shawarma with homemade garlic herb yoghurt sauce

Alright folks, let's talk about my Chicken Shawarma with homemade garlic herb yoghurt sauce. Trust me, this recipe is a game-changer. First, chop up your chicken into small slices and pop them in a ziplock bag. Now, here comes the fun part - the marinade! Mix together garlic, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pour this heavenly concoction over the chicken, seal the bag, and give it a good shake. Let that bad boy marinate for at least an hour (or overnight for an explosion of flavors). Anecdote time! I once mistook cayenne pepper for paprika and let me tell you, my mouth was on fire for days. Lesson learned: always double-check your spices, folks! Pro tip: Don't skip the marinade - that's where all the magic happens. And if you're feeling adventurous, try grilling the chicken for that extra smoky flavor. Get ready to savor the bold, aromatic flavors of this Chicken Shawarma. Your taste buds will thank you, I promise. Enjoy!

    Once ready to cook, heat your fry pan to medium-high and add a tiny bit of olive oil. Fry one side of all of your flatbreads until slightly toasty. Remove from pan, add enough oil to coat the fry pan. Put crumble fries into air fryer on 180 for 15 minutes shaking occasionally.

    The pan should be pretty hot by now, add the chicken in 2 batches (unless you have a big fry pan) to avoid overcrowding. The chicken should get a nice sear and darker colour which is perfect. Cook for a further 5-8 minutes or until cooked through. Repeat with next chicken batch.

    While chicken is cooking, place your Greek yoghurt into a bowl. Combine garlic, finely chopped mint and parsley, squeeze or so of lemon and cumin. Combine and add salt to taste. In a small bowl, combine 1tsp garlic powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, oregano, dried parsley, cayenne pepper (optional) mix and leave aside for fries.
