Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with pulled chicken schwarma sandwich. That's right. If you know what you're doing, and by the end of this video, you will, you can make a pulled chicken that's every bit as succulent and satisfying as pulled pork. And when you factor in the always irresistible shura spice, this, my friends, is a sandwich you're not going to want to miss.

Hola, soy Chef John de foodwishes.com con sándwich de pollo desmenuzado estilo shawarma. Así es. Si sabes lo que haces, y para el final de este video lo sabrás, puedes hacer un pollo desmenuzado que es igual de suculento y satisfactorio que el cerdo desmenuzado. Y cuando agregas la siempre irresistible especia shawarma, esto, amigos, es un sándwich que no te vas a querer perder.

And to get started, in a small bowl, we'll mix together some salt, some

Y para empezar, en un tazón pequeño mezclaremos algo de sal,

cumin, some sumac, some smoked paprika, some chili powder, some freshly ground black pepper, some garlic powder, some turmeric, some ground cloves, some cayenne pepper, and then last but not least, some ground cinnamon, and then we'll go ahead and mix that up with a freakishly small wooden spoon. And our schwarma spice blend is done. And once that's set, we'll take a big old chicken and transfer it into a big old pot.

comino, sumac, pimentón ahumado, chile en polvo, pimienta negra recién molida, ajo en polvo, cúrcuma, clavo molido, pimienta cayena, y por último pero no menos importante, canela molida. Luego mezclaremos todo con una cucharita de madera increíblemente pequeña. Y nuestra mezcla de especias shawarma está lista. Una vez preparada, tomaremos un pollo grande y lo transferiremos a una olla grande.

And I think the bigger the better. And this

Y creo que mientras más grande, mejor. Este

one was almost 5 lbs. And then to that, we will add some sliced garlic and onion. Followed by about half of our schwarma spice mix. Okay, we're actually going to use that three times. All right, once to cook the chicken, once to season the chicken, and then we'll also sprinkle a little bit over our finished sandwich.

pesaba casi 2.3 kg. Y luego agregaremos ajo rebanado y cebolla. Seguido de aproximadamente la mitad de nuestra mezcla de especias shawarma. En realidad la vamos a usar tres veces. Una para cocinar el pollo, otra para sazonarlo, y luego espolvorearemos un poco sobre nuestro sándwich terminado.

But anyway, once about half's been transferred in, we'll top that with a quart of cold fresh water, which is only going to come up the chicken about

En fin, una vez que se haya transferido la mitad, agregaremos un litro de agua fría, que solo cubrirá el pollo hasta la

halfway, which might not seem like enough, but trust me, it's going to be fine. And what we'll do is place this over high heat, and we will wait for it to come to a boil, at which point we'll back our heat down to low or somewhere between low and medium low. And we will cover this, and we will let it simmer gently for 20 minutes.

mitad, lo que puede no parecer suficiente, pero confía en mí, va a estar bien. Lo pondremos a fuego alto y esperaremos a que hierva, momento en el cual bajaremos el fuego a bajo o entre bajo y medio-bajo. Lo taparemos y lo dejaremos hervir suavemente por 20 minutos.
