Chicken Shawarma

Christ this is good. It takes a good bit of preparation as it needs to marinade – but it’s so worth it.

1 lemon, juiced
150g pot natural yoghurt
4 garlic cloves
thumb-sized piece ginger, grated
1-2 chillis (adjust to your heat preferences)
1/2tsp turmeric
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp garam masala
2 boxes chicken thighs, boned and skinned

  1. Mix all the ingredients together apart from the chicken.
  2. Add the chicken to the bowl, make sure it’s coated well, cover it with cling film, and chuck in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to 48 hours.
  3. Preferably using a pair of metal skewers, skewer the chicken, and pack together as tightly as you feel able to.
  4. Set the skewers across a roasting tray, so the chicken is not touching the bottom. Pop in the oven, 200c fan for 45-55 minutes. Be careful to check in the middle of the kebab that it’s not pink!
