I should probably get this out the way from the start…if you’re looking at the pictures in this post and reading the recipe and feel like something is missing…it is! I’m not quite sure where my brain was when I was making this recipe, or if I was trying to do too many things at once, but I left out the garlic and onions. The truth is, this Shawarma Air Fryer Chicken is still one of the tastiest things I’ve ever made!
I have been using my air fryer more and more and wondering why it took me so long to get on board! It’s such a great way to cook without using much oil, it’s really quick, the cleanup is minimal and everything I’ve made has been fabulous! I know you’re going to love this recipe…even if you forget the garlic and onions!
This recipe calls for shawarma spice blend that you can make yourself or purchase. It’s a spice blend that’s smoky, spicy, and incredibly versatile…and perfect for seasoning crispy chickpeas, falafel, curries, scrambled eggs, vegetables, and more! I will definitely be keeping this on hand!

Timely post!
I was gifted an air fryer last week and I admit that I’d been wondering what the heck to do with the thing (like you I’d never considered getting one, I was under the impression it was a gadget that was for things like convenience freezer food like chicken nuggets and corn dogs, which I don’t eat.)
Now THIS…what you posted…I will eat.
And, I am planning a grocery shopping trip today so guess what’s for dinner! Quick real food that’s healthy are very much appreciated.
Best,
Thought I’d ask, cookbook recommendations for this new toy lurking on my kitchen counter?
Hi April
It makes me so happy that you’re going to use your air fryer! Please let me know what you think of the chicken and also please try the salmon bites because they are delicious!
I don’t really have a specific air fryer cookbook, but I know the latest Half Baked Harvest cookbook has some air fryer recipes that I’m sure are delicious!
I think you mentioned 1 pp oimd of chicken on your IG. Can you confirm? In the kitchen currently with a glass of rose and spices. 🙂
Hi April
Haha that sounds like a nice place to be. I do think I said 1 pound of chicken on my IG, but 1-1/2 pounds is better. Please let me know what you think! Thanks so much for reading!
I have made several of the meals you share and without a doubt they have been WONDERFUL. Thank you and please keep them coming 😉
My husband commented last evening as we were eating the Shawarma Chicken meal, “Where in the world did you get this recipe?!? It is amazing!!”
I love the fact that all the recipes I’ve followed and made are delicious and don’t leave me feeling stuffed from a heavy meal. Please keep sharing.
Hi Dyanne
I’m thrilled that you are liking the recipes! I’m working on more and have so many ideas to share! The Shawarma Chicken is one of my favorites as well!
