Shawarma at Home Instructions

  1. How to cook shawarma at home:
    To make the chicken fillet as juicy as possible, cut it into large slices at an angle of 45 degrees. If you cut it into small pieces, then when frying, the fillet can become dry and tasteless.
  2. We send the fillet to a bowl, add spices and salt. So that the spices are well distributed, pour in vegetable oil. Mix with your hands.
  3. Fry the chicken fillet in vegetable oil until tender, but try not to dry it out. To check the readiness of the meat, you need to pierce it with a knife. If clear juice is released, the chicken fillet is ready!
  4. While the fillet is fried, peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes and put them in a pan with vegetable oil.
  5. Fry potatoes until golden brown.
