"Shawarma in a can" will be your new way to impress your friends - that's for sure! Sliders are a must for the big game, and what better way to take it to the next level than with a Chicken Shawarma twist? The chicken is packed tightly in a can after I massage it with my homemade shawarma spice mix and then slowly cooks in the oven to perfection. After being sliced, this smoky shawarma is then layered onto my freshly baked dinner rolls together with some of my favorite tahini, which is my absolute favorite here in the US. It is the most similar one I've found, to the one back home.

Step 7

Back to the buns- After doubled in size, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces (50-60 gr each). Round each piece to a perfect sealed ball. Place them in a squared 9 inch baking pan (lined with parchment paper). Cover with a plastic wrap and let them proof for for 15-20 min.

Step 8

Prepare the tahini- in a small bowl add the water, lemon juice and salt and mix together. The amount of water should be half the amount you wanna get from the tahini sauce. As you whisking, drizzle tahini until you get to the desire consistency. For a thicker sauce- add more tahini, for a thinner sauce- add more water. Set aside.
