Creating delicious Grilled Chicken Shawarma at home can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add chicken thighs to the marinade, coating them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat on the stove over medium heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once done, remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps to keep it juicy.
6. Slice Chicken: Cut the grilled chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
7. Assemble Your Plates: Serve chicken on pita bread with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, and desired sauce. Drizzle with tzatziki or garlic sauce if you like.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for an added burst of flavor and color.

Following these steps will result in an outstanding Grilled Chicken Shawarma that you can be proud of.
