Doner Kebab image

Doner Kebabs are a Turkish kebab recipe that's healthy, juicy and bursting with exotic flavors from an easy marinade layered with hand-picked seasonings. Doner kebabs are usually cooked on a rotating spit but I've included how to grill or bake the chicken kebabs on skewers to achieve the same irresistible juicy caramelized edges. My step-by-step tutorial and video (below) show you exactly how to make this doner kebab recipe and how to turn the chicken into wraps or bowls - all complete with dynamic garlic yogurt sauce. This doner kebab recipe is excellent for meal prep, make ahead lunch/dinners, entertaining and leftovers - all instructions included.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut in half)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tsp EACH ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander
1 1/2 tsps EACH garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, dried oregano
1/2 tsp EACH ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, pepper
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped mint
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp EACH ground cumin, ground coriander, pepper
Lebanese bread/flatbread/pita bread (warmed)
1 recipe hummus ((or store-bought))
finely sliced Romaine or iceberg lettuce
cherry tomatoes, halved (or Roma tomatoes, sliced and quartered)
English cucumber ( sliced and quartered)
red onion (thinly sliced quartered)
Spiralized carrots
chili sauce (I use sriracha)
rice - for plates ((see notes))

Steps:

  • Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Add chicken halves and stir to thoroughly coat. Cover and refrigerate 8-24 hours.
  • Whisk the Garlic Yogurt Sauce ingredient together in a medium bowl. Chill until ready to serve. The sauce can be made at the time you start marinating the chicken or aim for at least an hour before cooking the chicken.
  • Using 2 skewers for each kebab, thread one side of the thigh onto each skewer and then the other side; slide the skewered chicken down to the end (see photos in post or video). Repeat with half the chicken, pushing the chicken against each other. Repeat to make a second kabob with the remaining chicken.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean grates and generously grease with oil.
  • Once hot, add kebabs, and grill for 4-5 minutes without moving. Flip kebabs over and grill the other side an addition 4-5 minutes.
  • Next, flip chicken over, COVER and reduce heat so it maintains 400 degrees F with the lid closed. Continue to cook, approximately 5-10 additional minutes per side turning once, until chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, add flatbread to the grill to warm up.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a pan with foil that allows you to perch the metal skewers on the top rim of the pan so the chicken hangs in the middle without touching the bottom of the pan (see photos in post or video).
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes, then flip kebabs over. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken and bake an addition 15- 20 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Optional: Without moving the pan, turn oven to broil and broil for 3-5 minutes per side for more yummy crispy bits. Baste again with pan juices. Let rest 5-10 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, wrap the desired amount of flatbread in foil and place in the oven. Heat for 8-10 minutes or until warm and pliable. Remove from the oven using oven mitts.
  • Stand the skewers upright on a cutting board and thinly slice chicken off.
  • Spread a generous amount of hummus over warmed flatbread. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, chicken, and garlic yogurt sauce. Drizzle with sriracha if you like some heat - careful, a little goes a long way.
  • Serve chicken on a plate with desired accompaniments such as warmed flatbread, curried rice (see notes), shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and sides of garlic yogurt sauce, sriracha and hummus.

DONAR KEBAB SAUCES (WHITE AND RED)



Donar Kebab Sauces (White and Red) image

I came up with these quick sauces to top off Donar Kebabs (gyros), similar to what you get in Europe. There's a white sauce similar to an aioli and a red chili sauce similar to harissa, but these use shortcuts to cut down on prep time since you're also cooking up the donar kebabs. I make these to go with my recipe Recipe #292013 .

DONER KEBAB



Doner kebab image

Make your own version of this takeaway favourite, complete with chilli and garlic sauces. Serve your homemade doner kebab with pitta bread and shredded cabbage

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

500g lamb mince
1 small onion, coarsely grated
4 garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
100g fresh breadcrumbs
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp smoked paprika
sunflower oil for oiling
pitta breads, shredded red or white cabbage, sliced onion, chopped tomatoes, pickled chillies, chilli sauce (see recipe below), garlic sauce (see recipe below), tahini

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor with a large pinch of salt and lots of ground pepper. Pulse until everything is combined and chopped together. You can also just squish everything together in a bowl but this will give you a looser finish.
  • Oil a large sheet of foil, tip the meat mix in the middle and mould to a very thick sausage, roughly the shape of an aubergine. Roll up the foil tightly, twisting up the ends to create a Christmas cracker shape.
  • Lay on a shallow roasting tin and roast in the oven for 35-40 mins, turning occasionally, or until a digital cooking thermometer reads 75C when pierced in the middle. Leave the kebab to cool a little, then unwrap the foil. Place back on the tray and brown under the grill or with a blowtorch.
  • Place on a board and carve into thin slices. For full doner mode, you can hold the kebab up with a roasting fork or metal skewer and carve. Serve with warm pitta bread and any of the other accompaniments, including our chilli sauce and garlic yogurt sauce.
