Middle Eastern/Shawarma-style Chicken Rub Seasoning

 Middle Eastern/Shawarma-style ratio to mix those individual spices together.

The Master Ratio (Per Pound of Chicken)
To season 1 pound of chicken breasts or thighs, whisk these dry ingredients together in a small bowl:
  • Ground Cumin: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground Coriander: 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika: 1 teaspoon (smoked or sweet)
  • Ground Turmeric: ½ teaspoon
  • Ground Cinnamon: ¼ teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon
How to Apply It (No Marinade)
  1. Dry the meat: Pat your chicken completely dry with a paper towel.
  2. Oil it: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil directly onto the chicken.
  3. Rub: Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides and press it firmly into the meat so it sticks.
  4. Cook immediately: Pan-sear or grill over medium-high heat, or bake at 425°F (220°C) until the center hits 165°F (74°C).
