Israeli Shawarma (Grilled Spiced Chicken)

Israeli Shawarma is a street food found not only in Israel but all over the Middle East. Vertical spits of meat are grilled and shaved off. Often enjoyed in a pita with condiments or just with a lovely salad. The meat on the spit could be chicken, lamb or beef. It is usually interspersed with fat for exceptional flavor. It is also spiced with flavors of the Middle East. This chicken recipe is about as close as you can get to the real thing without having a vertical spit at home to cook with. This chicken is flavorful, moist, tender and delicious. Enjoy it with a healthful and colorful Israeli salad. Please note that you really need to use the dark meat for this recipe to come out right. You should also plan ahead for marination time, overnight is best.
