Air Fryer Chicken Shawarma

Traditional shawarma is made by stacking marinated meat on a vertical spit and slow-roasting it for many hours. In Greece, meat cooked in this style is called gyro. This quick air fryer version uses juicy boneless chicken breasts along with yogurt and a mix of spices to achieve that classic Mediterranean flavour in a fraction of the time.
