Comments on: Roast Chicken Shawarma Gyros https://www.closetcooking.com/roast-chicken-shawarma-gyros/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Do you think that I should use your oven method instead or shall I go ahead with my lovely rotisserie? Thanks. I am sure either method will end up delicious.

Very Spicy…which we like, and with a yogurt topping perfect! The skewers were abit challenging..ok like, it may have toppled a few times, but I was determined to make it stand! It feeds a crowd! I also froze a portion for a quick meal! I used boneless thighs…red onions.. I highly recommend this beast of a spicy yummy meal! Thx , love your blog 🙏

I’m surprised this wasn’t addressed in the recipe.

It is a favorite amongst my friends and family. People are now requesting when they are coming over for dinner. Could you use boneless, skinless chicken breasts?

Love this recipe, as we do so many of yours. Thanks, thanks. Now the burning question – Do you think I could cut up one (or more) of those (usually Butterball) Boneless Turkey Roasts (usually kept frozen in the grocery stores) to create Thanksgiving Roast Turkey Shawarma Gyros?? 🙂

Yes you can! Fry them in a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-high heat until cooked through. Medium sized chicken thighs will take about 4-6 minutes per side to cook. You could also cut the chicken thighs into bite sized pieces before marinating and they will cook faster. Enjoy!
