Easy Whole Chicken in 45 Minutes | Shawarma Chicken | How To Cook A Whole Chicken

Now who doesn't love a crispy, juicy whole chicken that's done in 45 minutes?! I used shawarma seasoning and served it alongside some hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and garlic sauce. It also pairs perfectly as a pita sandwich, over a salad, or with some buttery rice.

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (4-5lbs)
Chicken Brine (Optional):
2 liters water or enough to fully cover chicken
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tbsp kosher salt (not table salt)
Juice of 2 lemons
3 crushed garlic cloves
Brine directions: Bring to a boil for 1 minute, stir to dissolve salt. Remove from heat. Cool completely before using. I cool on my counter for 30 minutes and then in the fridge for another 30 mins. Not cooling the brine completely is a safety hazard.
Butter Rub:
4 crushed garlic cloves
5 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp Shawarma seasoning (see note below)
Note: If you don’t have shawarma seasoning at a store near you, you can make it with the below recipe:
Shawarma seasoning:
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp allspice powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
