Simple Schwarma-Inspired Chicken Recipe

February 14, 2021 By Heather Solos 6 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I had a hard time coming up with the name for this schwarma-inspired chicken dish. Why? I don’t want to be culturally appropriative as this is not at all authentic. The flavors, however, remind me of chicken schwarma I have had in the past and hope to have again someday.… Keep reading...

Garlic and Soy Chicken Thighs
