Simply combine your chosen meat with some olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and any other desired spices in a large bowl or zip-top bag.

Instructions

MARINADE
In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Stir in the chicken halves. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours.
GARLIC YOGURT SAUCCE

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Garlic Yogurt Sauce ingredients. Allow to chill until ready for use. You can make the sauce as soon as you begin marinating the chicken, or wait at least one hour before cooking it.
SKEWER
For each kebab, use 2 skewers. Thread one side of your thigh onto each stick and then the opposite side. Slide the chicken down to the bottom (see video or photos in post). Continue with the other half of the chicken and push the chicken against one another. Continue to make another kabob using the rest of the chicken.

TO GRILL
Pre-heat grill to medium heat Grease grates with oil.
After kebabs are hot, grill them for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the kebabs and grill for another 4-5 minutes.

Flip the chicken over. Cover and reduce heat to ensure it remains at 400°F with the lid closed. Cook the chicken for approximately 5-10 minutes more per side, turning once. Let cool off on the grill for 5 minutes before carving.
To warm up, you can add flatbread to your grill.
BAKE

Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with foil. The foil will allow you to place the metal skewers on top of the pan, so that the chicken is in the middle.
After 30 minutes at 400°F, turn the kebabs upside down. Pour the pan juices over the chicken. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F. Once again, brush with the pan juices. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before you begin carving.
WARM FLATBREAD

Wrap the flatbread in foil, and bake in the oven. Warm the flatbread for 8-10 minutes, or until it is firm and warm. Use oven mitts to remove the cake from the oven.
CARVE
Place the skewers on a cutting board. Slice the chicken thinly.

DONER KEBAB WEARS
Spread a generous amount hummus on warmed flatbread. Add shredded lettuce, tomatoes and red onions, as well as chicken, to the flatbread. If you prefer heat, drizzle with sriracha. A little goes a very long way.
DONER KEBAB PLATES
