What do you need to make street-cart chicken shawarma fries at home?
Chicken: I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. However, chicken tenders or even boneless, skinless chicken thighs would work well.Oil: oil, vinegar, and seasonings are used to make the shawarma marinade for the chicken.Vinegar: a bit of vinegar helps tenderize and flavor the chicken.Shawarma seasoning: I prefer to use my homemade shawarma seasoning, but you could also use a store-bought seasoning. Shawarma seasoning is available in most mainstream grocery stores these days, and you can even purchase it online.Garlic: a few cloves of garlic are used to make the garlic sauce.Mayonnaise: mayo is the base of the garlic sauce. We’ll use garlic and lemon juice for flavorings.Lemon juice: just a hint of lemon juice really brightens and elevates the garlic sauceAlexia Seasoned Waffle Cut Fries: I used 1 whole bag and prepared them according to package directions.Toppings: for the toppings, I like to use chopped tomatoes, sweet onions, cornichons, and fresh parsley. Of course, you could also use Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, chopped Persian cucumbers, or even pickled red onions or middle eastern pickled turnips. The topping possibilities are truly endless!
