Chicken Sharwarma 3.0!
 
Chicken is my wife’s favorite and I like to cook things she’ll like, most of the time, so for the Chicken Thighs Throwdown, I went with Chichen Shawarma. Started out by skinning and de-boning some chicken thighs that I had thawed out. I cut each in half and set them aside in the fridge.

I now got out the ingredients for a yogurt based Sharwarma marinade.

and gave it a good spin with the whisk.

I then put the chicken thighs in and stirred it up to get complete coverage on all surfaces.

I then covered the bowl with plastic wrap and placed them in the fridge to rest overnight. Now I made up a batch of Tzatziki.

The next day I broke out my vertical spit.

And loaded it up with the Shawarma and topped it with a nice thick slice of red onion

After I had preheated my kamado up to 325 for 1/2 hour I put the Shawarma in.

I checked on it after about 25 minutes and knew it could go much longer.

After about 1 hour I started getting everything ready. I cut up my veggies

and got the Tzatziki out.

I also set up my craving station.

Once the Shawarma developed some char on it, I removed it and sliced off the outer layer and then placed it back in the kamado.

I warmed up some flat bread and spooned on some Tzatziki and then made up some Shawarma Sammi’s.

Here they are served street food style with a Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin and some mandarin orange slices.

Absolutely nailed it! Cooking down on the charcoal grate opposite the divider from the heat is a novel idea.

Pics look great and it all looks fantastic.

If I may ask, where did you find the base and holder for the chicken you placed in the bottom of the grill? I would like that for lamb, too.

Thanks

YUM I think I really need to try this

legendaryhog 06-24-2019 08:38 AM

This and the stuffed thighs are the front-runners at this point for the throwdown. Looks great.

What a great presentation!

Thank you lunchman. I'm thinking next time I'm going to substitute some expanded metal mesh for the C.I. charcoal. There was plenty of heat but I could've used some more direct flame exposure for some better charring.

Thank you Escaper. I found it at a local thrift store for $2.17. It is an indoor grill plate similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Plate-Iwatani...s%2C223&sr=8-7
