Homemade chicken doner is an irresistible twist on the classic Turkish rotisserie meat, perfect for those looking for a flavorful dish without leaving home. This chicken recipe stands out for its marinade in kefir yogurt with spices like cumin, oregano, and turmeric, ensuring tender and juicy meat inside, with a golden and slightly crispy exterior. Ideal for a family meal or to surprise your guests with something different and exotic.
The secret lies in the marinade: acidic yogurt helps tenderize the chicken fibers, while the spices add deep aroma and an appetizing color. By stacking the fillets vertically on an onion base and baking at high heat, you achieve that rotisserie-style effect, with layers that can be sliced into thin pieces.
With this easy recipe, you'll have a spectacular homemade doner that rivals any restaurant version.

Cut the chicken breasts into thin fillets, each leaving about 4 steaks. Mix all the ingredients of the marinade in a bowl and add the filleted chicken there, trying to impregnate each fillet with our marinade. Cover the container with plastic wrap and leave it refrigerated for at least 12 hours so that it can thoroughly impregnate the marinade.
After the hours in the refrigerator, turn on the oven to maximum to preheat while we assemble. Cut a large onion in half and cross it two toothpicks, ideally metallic, if not, of these for skewers and thus form a base with the onion that will be the support to form our meat vertically. Arrange in an oven tray and start assembling the fillets on our onion, crossing them with the toothpicks and mounting one on the other until they are all ready.
Lower the oven temperature to 180°C with heat up and down and with a fan running for 40 minutes. If your oven doesn't have this air option, cover the meat with aluminum foil to cook. After 40 minutes, remove from the oven and rest for a few minutes. Then cut the meat into slices from top to bottom, and set aside to fill your kebab.
