Homemade Chicken Doner Kebab

Recipe VIDEO above. A homemade version of your favourite Chicken Doner Kebab! Tastes remarkably similar to the diner kebab meat from your favourite takeout store. I've baked it, but imagine it rotisserie style over the BBQ or charcoal! You will need 4 long metal skewers for this, around 30cm / 12" long.

1 kg / 2 lb chicken thighs , skinless and boneless (Note 1)

Olive oil , for drizzling

subheading: MARINADE:

1 cup plain yoghurt , unsweetened (I use Greek)

3 garlic cloves minced

1 ½ tsp coriander powder

2 tsp cumin powder

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper , optional

1 ½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp black pepper

2 ½ tbsp tomato paste

1 ½ tsp salt

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil

subheading: FOR SERVING (CHOOSE):

Lebanese bread / flatbreads / pita bread , warmed

Finely sliced iceberg lettuce

Tomato slices

Hummus (or Note 2 for simple Yoghurt Sauce)

Tabbouleh (optional, Note 3)

Red onion slices

Grated cheese

Chilli Sauce (I use Sriracha, it's perfect)

Mejadra (Middle Eastern Rice with Lentils), for Kebab Plate

Mix Marinade in a large bowl. Add chicken and mix to coat well.

Cover and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours, 24 hours is ideal. If only 3 hours, add an extra ½ tsp salt.
