chicken doner kebab

Let's make a delicious, tender and juicy chicken doner kebab at home. It is easier than you might think. The spiced yogurt marinade is the key to make this Turkish street food recipe.

Chicken Doner Kebab (Tavuk Döner)

chicken

yogurt

olive oil

lemon juice (or vinegar)

tomato paste

garlic powder

cumin

paprika

black pepper

salt

Flatbreads bread

lettuce

red cabbage

Onion sliced

Tomatoes, sliced

Cucumber, chopped

Rice

Potato Chips

Salad with finely sliced lettuce, red cabbage, onions, tomatoes, cucumber

Pickles

In a large bowl, mix together yogurt, oil, lemon juice, tomato paste, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper and salt.

Add the chicken thighs in the marinade and toss well. Make sure to coat each chicken piece well with the marinade.

Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours. It is even better if you marinate it overnight.

Marinade The Chicken:

If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C. Line a large pan with foil. We will place the skewers on the top rim.

Remove the chicken from the fridge. Take two skewers and thread chicken pieces onto them, one side on one skewer, the other side on the second skewer. Push each chicken piece you thread against the previous one.

Repeat with another 2 skewers for the remaining chicken pieces.

Place the skewers on the top rim of the prepared pan. Make sure the chicken pieces are hanging only and not touching the bottom of the pan.

Bake for 30 minutes or until it gets a nice golden color.

Remove from the oven, flip the kebabs, take a spoonful of the juices in the pan and pour over the kebabs. Bake for another 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven, baste again with juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Skewer The Chicken and Bake: 

Place the kebabs upright and slice as thinly as possible using a sharp knife.

Carve The Chicken Doner Kebabs:

To make wraps,

put some salad (finely chopped lettuce, red cabbage, onions, tomatoes, cucumber) on a flatbread, top it with chicken doner kebab pieces and roll it up.

To make sandwiches,

fill a doner bread (or pita) with some salad and chicken doner and enjoy.

To serve it on plates,

prepare a doner plate by assembling chicken doner, rice, potato chips(optional), salad with lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber and pickles all on a plate. You can still add some flatbread on the side.

Serve In Wraps or Sandwiches:

Chicken Doner Kebab

chicken breasts

onion

soy sauce (low sodium)

ground pepper

curry powder

sweet paprika

coriander

garlic (minced)

lemon juice

olive oil (extra virgin)

za'atar spice

oregano

pita breads (or lebanese wraps)

lettuce (finely shredded)

hummus

tomatoes (sliced)

½ red onion (thinly sliced)

Coat the chicken in marinade.

Add all the chicken ingredients to a bowl and mix everything well, making sure all chicken is fully coated.

Wrap the chicken and freeze.

Place the chicken on a large piece of plastic wrap and cover it up, rolling the ends tightly, so that it forms an even log. Place the log in the freezer for at least 3 to 4 hours.

Make the yogurt sauce.

In a bowl combine all the yogurt sauce ingredients together, whisk well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Slice the chicken.

Open the chicken wrap and slice off thin slices of chicken. If you find it too hard to slice, let the meat sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it&#39;s easier to slice.

Cook the chicken.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add pieces of chicken to the hot skillet to cook. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and looks almost charred. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Assemble the kebab wraps.

Assemble doners by placing a pita bread on a piece of foil then topping it with yogurt sauce or hummus, some chicken, a drizzle of olive oil, lettuce, tomatoes and red onions.
