Nigerian Chicken Shawarma Recipe (Street-Style)
Shawarma may have originated in the Middle East, but Nigerians have made it completely their own. If you’ve ever walked past a roadside shawarma stand in Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt, you know it’s one of the most loved street foods in the country. Unlike some versions that are dry, Nigerian shawarma is saucy, juicy, and packed with flavor . It’s usually wrapped with chicken, hot dogs, veggies, and a creamy spicy sauce — then toasted to perfection. This recipe shows you how to make it at home, street-style, in just 30 minutes.
