Shawarma Marinade for Chicken
Description
Middle Eastern spices combine with olive oil and lemon juice to create a richly seasoned marinade for chicken. I love to use thighs, but it works for the white meat, too. Grill or broil your chicken, as you choose.
Instructions
- Zest lemons until you have 1 tablespoon zest. Juice both lemons.
- Combine lemon zest and juice with olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, salt, turmeric, pepper, and cinnamon in a glass jar. Seal jar with a lid and shake vigorously to combine.
Ingredients
- 2 medium lemons
- ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil

- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
