When the first time I went to Saudi Arabia I was surprised to see deeply marinated layers of beef, lamb, or chicken stacked on a vertical spit. I devoured shawarma from many shops, but the best chicken shawarma wrap I loved was with French Fries along with meat, salad, and sauces.
On my last visit I found Platter Chicken Shawarma and yes I enjoyed it more than the wrap. So here is the Platter Shawarma Recipe that I have tried many times and I just love it.
