Creating Chicken Shawarma with Garlic Sauce can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, olive oil, yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture.
6. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
7. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken thighs into thin strips.
8. Warm the Pita: If desired, warm pita bread on the grill for a few seconds.
9. Assemble the Dish: Lay the sliced chicken on the pita, drizzle with garlic sauce, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Optionally, add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or lettuce for extra crunch.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Chicken Shawarma with Garlic Sauce while it’s warm and fresh.
