Turkish doner kebab (chicken)
Ingredients
- 500g chicken thigh
- 1 small onion, coarsely grated
- 4 garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- sunflower oil for oiling
- To serve: Pitta breads, shredded red or white cabbage, sliced onion, chopped tomatoes, pickled chilies, chilli sauce (see recipe below), garlic sauce (see recipe below), tahini.
Method
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 loose finish.
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. If you want to go 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.
