Summer grilling season would not be complete without trying a kabob recipe.

What is Shawarma? 

The word “shawarma” comes from the Turkish word çevirme, which means “turning.” It’s thin slices of meat on a rotating vertical spit, covered in a mouthwatering array of spices. This Shawarma Chicken Kabobs recipe is, by some standards, not technically a shawarma, since we didn’t make it on a vertical spit. However, it’s shawarma style due to the spices we used in this kabob recipe. The combination of coriander, cumin, paprika, and garlic are typical to what meat marinates in for shawarma.
