Marinate the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, add chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic paste, ginger paste and spices. Mix well until chicken is fully coated. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes for strong flavor.
A good marinade makes all the difference — the same way a careful seasoning technique takes spiced and crispy air fryer chicken from simple to spectacular.
Assemble the Shawarma
Place cooked chicken on the bread. Add lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Drizzle garlic sauce or mayo on top for extra creaminess. If you want to take the sauce up a notch, this creamy homemade dressing with a tangy kick works beautifully as a drizzle too.
