our chicken spice is where it all started, and is our #1 selling spice.
the chef developed this blend as his hybrid version of a lebanese 7 spice, an essential pantry item in every arab household, to start making shawarma at home. it's versatility makes it perfect for daily use, and can be paired with anything from grilled chicken, fish, or even vegetables. this is one of those must-have spices.
one of chef mohammad's favorite ways to use this spice at home is on a classic oven-roasted chicken. serve the final product with a generous helping of our classic toum and you'll have an instant new go-to weekend (winner winner) chicken dinner.
this is one of our favorite meals and although we can't share it with all of you (because we'd need a really big table), we figure the next best thing would be to help you all make it at home for your loved ones. we've asked the chef to share this own recipe that's listed below!
oven-roasted chicken
ingredients:
1 (2-3 lbs) whole chicken
3 tbl chicken spice
3 tbl yogurt
1 tbl turkish pepper paste
1 tbl extra virgin olive oil
preparation:
step 1. preheat your oven to 400F.
step 2. make your marinade - mix everything (but the chicken) together.
step 3. coat the chicken well to marinate overnight, but a couple of hours of marination is also great!
step 4. lay out your chicken on a lined baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165F. depending on the size of your chicken, this should be at 350-400F for about 90-105 minutes. you’re looking for that golden crispy skin and, most importantly, an internal temperature of 165F.
step 5. slice up the chicken, and enjoy with pita bread and shawramaji toum!
