  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 half teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 half teaspoon chili flakes or mild pepper powder
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • For the Wrap
  • Warm flatbread or pita
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced cucumbers or pickles
  • Sliced red onion
  • Yogurt Sauce
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or one grated clove
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional pinch of dried mint

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Grater
  • Parchment paper
  • Foil
  • Baking sheet
  • Skillet
  • Knife for slicing

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic, yogurt, oil, salt, and spices. Mix gently until evenly combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into a tight log on parchment paper. Wrap securely and then wrap again in foil.
  3. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour to firm the log.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the wrapped log on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, turning halfway.
  5. Remove from the oven and unwrap. Let the log rest for 10 minutes so the juices settle.
  6. Slice the doner into thin strips.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium high heat with a little oil. Pan fry the slices until crispy and golden on the edges.
  8. Make the yogurt sauce by mixing yogurt, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  9. Assemble the wrap by layering lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, crispy doner, and yogurt sauce inside warm flatbread.
  10. Fold and serve immediately.

Notes

* For juicier doner, choose ground chicken thighs.
* If the mixture feels too soft to shape, chill longer before wrapping.
* If slices do not crisp, increase the pan heat slightly and avoid crowding.
* Yogurt sauce can be made ahead and stored for 3 days.
* The cooked doner log freezes well. Slice after reheating for best texture.
