20 minute Chicken Shawarma.exe

Today, I'm using up a bunch of leftover spice containers to make a simple chicken shawarma with a quick pickled salad, white sauce, and fries.

Thanks for shouting out Obi, his channel really deserves way more credit and viewership

Homie compiled the shawarma and then executed it.

Now that's an interesting Windows .exe file...

So this might be a stupid request, but would it be possible to make a video explaining the shelf life of vegetables, like an onion cut in half, to say the salad or the cooked chicken? I feel like I'm a bad judge of determining if something is good or not and prematurely toss food away.

This has easily become my favorite cooking channel on YouTube. Unlike your mainline channel, I don't feel like this is trying to educate me, but instead just give me some tips and ideas on dinner tonight. And it all just looks amazing. Wonderful job Ethan! Keep it up!

I love this type of video! I’ve been really exhausted by constantly following recipes and wasting random ingredients that I was instructed to buy. I’m gonna try to do something similar to this tonight with the veggies I have left in my fridge and some left over chicken. It feels like improvising like this is the “next level” once you’ve gotten more comfortable in the kitchen.

Damn I wish I could run a chicken shawarma.exe every time I’m hungry 😂

I've come to learn that a greek yogurt heavy white sauce is like a cheat code. I've gone without using any type of mayo/fat before aside from maybe pan drippings from grilled steak or chicken. It's a ton of flavor, adds moisture to your dish, is very low on fat macros, so it's just a super protein rich sauce with limited carbs/fat.

Also, instead of frozen french fries, I've done some super basic potato wedges with my own seasonings and olive oil (similar to home fries I guess?) which is a much healthier alternative to frozen fries. Doesn't hit quite the same, but still a great amount of crunchy surface area to fluffy interior for way less calories.

Ethan is the only ‘YouTube chef’ I’d genuinely buy a cookbook from

The air fryer is for reheating those roasted vegetables when they’re left over because you cooked so many in the oven.

For people who cannot eat acidic foods due to gastroesophageal disorder sumac is a great substitute. It gives it that acidic taste without the acidity.

1:35 This is my style of making spice mixes. I go through the jars and put in what smells like it fits.

my airfryer is literally just a potato machine. i use it pretty consistently but its always just breakfast potatoes or some quick fries

With a title like that I was expecting an ARG cooking tutorial.

Love how you cook spontaneously and just add spices based on what you have and think works. This is only achieved after years of cooking and getting confident with putting flavours together. This is how I cook most of the time. Some people call it lazy cooking, but imo if you need to follow a recipe to the word then you have a lot still to go

I've been trying to use up leftovers for years and sometimes make very bland and boring neals. This channel definitely inspires me to think outside the box and ve more creative.

You asked what folks do with their air fryers. A not so brief list of mine: Crispy pork belly (I pour off the fat periodically into silicon cupcake trays and freeze them for stews and other cooking), roasting a small batch of pre-prepped frozen kumura, potato and pumpkin for sides and more often, smaller serving sizes of vegetable soup, making a batch of 2-3 fresh cookies from frozen cookie dough, cooking and crisping canned chickpeas to use as 'croutons', crisping up nacho chips with cheese on top for reheated nacho mince. ^.^

The more I see of this format, the more I love it. This channel is great! ✨😋

7:22 I use the air fryer for frozen fries too. For roasting vegetables, if I’m cooking for myself then it’s just faster to toss them into the air fryer for me. If I’m cooking for me and my partner then we’d do it in the oven. But I use the air fryer a good bit to cook meats too. Chicken especially for me is just easy to marinade, stick a thermometer in it, and throw it into the air fryer until it’s ready.

So for me, it’s just when I want smaller batches of food since it heats up/cooks faster than in an oven.
