Can I cook the kebabs in the oven or on a BBQ?

Yep. Oven grill works great, but they’re even better on the BBQ for extra smokiness.

Can I make this ahead?

You can marinate the chicken and prep the slaw the day before. Just grill fresh when you're ready to eat.

There’s a gentle kick from the chillies and Al'Fez Shawarma Spice Mix, but it’s easy to dial down by using fewer chillies or more garlic sauce.

Chicken Shawarma Kebabs with Green Chilli Butter

Notes

35 mins cook

Juicy shawarma-spiced chargrilled chicken, with zingy slaw, garlicky sauce & lemony chilli butter on fluffy flatbreads. Big vibes, little effort.

Jordon Ezra King

Heat the grill to medium-high.

Mix the yoghurt and Al’Fez Shawarma Spice Mix in a big bowl. Cut the chicken into large chunks, season with salt, add to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and chill.

Zest half the lemons into a heatproof bowl. Finely chop the chillies and parsley, add with a pinch of salt. Melt the butter, pour over, stir and set aside.

Shred the cabbage into a bowl with mint, vinegar, juice of the lemons, salt and pepper. Scrunch to soften, drizzle with olive oil, stir and set aside.

Thread the chicken onto skewers, folding any thinner bits in half, making sure to not pack the pieces too tightly. Lightly oil a baking tray and lay the skewers on top.

Grill the skewers for 3-4 mins until charred, flip and cook the other side. Rest for a few mins.

Warm the Al’Fez Lebanese Style Flatbreads under the grill for 1 min. Spread with the chilli butter, top with chicken, slaw and Al’Fez Garlic Squeezy Sauce. Fold up and dig in.

super yummy recipe, the butter was top tier for a home made shawarma recipe, really made it next level. I ate a CBD gummy, so maybe I’m biased, but I still reckon this deserves a 10/10 🤌🏽

This was incredible!! i’m somebody who really can’t cook but this was really easy and tasted fantastic. though i think i added too much greek yoghurt 🤣. also instead of the grill i cooked it at 200°c for 25-30 mins..
