Jida Homemade Spring Chicken Shawarma

The beauty of shawarma is the moist and flavorful chicken that’s been roasted so delicately. Our homemade Spring-Chicken Shawarma is very moist and uniquely flavored by our Jida’s Yellow Sassy Blend. The top player of this shawarma is the cherry on top. The caramelized white onions and green chili add a perfect combo of sweet and spicy.
