What makes Shawarma special?

Unlike our spicier rubs, Shawarma is not about heat but about aroma. Cumin and coriander lay the foundation, cinnamon adds a subtle sweetness, and allspice ties it all together. The result is excellent on chicken, but also works perfectly for flatbread, tzatziki, and other Middle Eastern side dishes – more versatile than you'd expect from a BBQ rub.

Dosage

• Skinless chicken thighs: 65g per 1.5 kg meat
• Chicken wings: 60g per 1.5 kg meat
• Lamb & vegetables: rub generously, rest for at least 30 minutes

How to use Shawarma?

Pat the meat dry, rub generously with the rub, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Grill over indirect heat until a core temperature of 70–72°C for chicken. Also excellent in the oven at 180–200°C.
