Magical Herb Tahini Sauce:
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh mint chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
Prepare the Chicken Shawarma:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the chicken. Use your hands to toss everything around until chicken is well coated in marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes (up to 1 hour).
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Transfer chicken (including marinade) to a foil-lined baking sheet or a casserole dish. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Increase oven heat to 425 degrees F and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes, until skin is golden-brown and crispy.
Remove chicken from oven and allow it to sit 10 minutes before slicing and serving with magic tahini sauce.
