Turkish Chicken Shawarma with Red Sauce is a flavorful and aromatic dish that consists of marinated chicken, slow-roasted on a rotating spit or grill. The chicken is served in a warm pita or wrap, filled with fresh vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and a tangy red sauce.
The red sauce, also known as shawarma sauce, is a blend of Middle Eastern spices, such as cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic, and lemon juice, combined with yogurt or mayonnaise, creating a tangy, creamy, and slightly spicy sauce that perfectly complements the chicken.
This dish is popular all over Turkey, and is a common street food, as well as a staple in many Turkish restaurants. It is typically served with a side of fries, pickles, and a refreshing drink, such as ayran, a yogurt-based drink.
