Chicken Döner Kebab

Chicken Döner kebab is one of my absolutely favorite comfort foods. Succulent marinated chicken thighs are oven-roasted to sheer perfection and served up in a warm pita wrap or over your favorite bowl of greens.

Chicken Döner Kebab recipe

INGREDIENTS

1.5-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 lemon
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 tablespoons Turkish Chicken Seasoning
for garnish handful parsley leaves
for garnish tahini dressing recipe with parsley

INSTRUCTION

  1. Remove chicken thighs from the refrigerator and place in a medium-sized bowl. Zest lemon over top and add juice too. Coat with olive oil, yogurt, salt, and Turkish Chicken Seasoning. Mix to coat chicken, either with a spoon or your hands. Marinate chicken for 30 minutes-24 hours. If you're cooking it within the hour, leave the marinating chicken outside of the fridge.
  2. When ready to cook, line a rimmed baking sheet that is big enough so to perch metal skewers on top, with foil. My baking sheet and skewers are about 16 inches long.
  3. Thread pieces of marinated chicken onto 2 long metal skewers and bake at 400 degrees until internal temperature reaches 165F (about 30 minutes). Flip chicken once during cooking, using tongs or hot pads. Chicken may also be grilled. If you like, broil chicken for the last 5 minutes of cooking for crispy yummy bits!
  4. Remove from skewers and thinly slice for use in a sandwich wrap or over a salad. Serve with tahini dressing with parsley
