Ingredients

2.1 kg boneless skinless chicken thighs
200 g 0% Greek yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic (Cloves, minced or finely grated)
0.25 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp ground coriander
2 tbsp ground cumin
4 tsp ground cardamom
2 tsp cayenne pepper
4 tsp smoked paprika
4 tsp salt

Steps

1
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable freezer bag. Trim any excess fat if desired, keeping the thighs otherwise whole or cutting them into large pieces for easier portioning.
2
Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cayenne, smoked paprika, and salt to the chicken.
3
Massage or stir the chicken until every piece is evenly coated with the yogurt-spice marinade. Cover the bowl or seal the bag.
4
Refrigerate the chicken to marinate for 3–20 hours. If freezing, portion the raw marinated chicken into eight freezer-safe bags or containers, remove as much air as possible, label, and freeze.
5
Freeze for up to 3–4 months. Thaw one portion safely in the refrigerator before cooking; do not thaw at room temperature.
6
Cook the thawed chicken fresh using a skillet, grill, or oven until browned on the outside and the thickest piece reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Rest briefly before slicing.
7
Serve the chicken shawarma with rice or pita, a sumac salad, and a Greek yogurt dip, as suggested in the source.
