Homemade Chicken Doner Kebab Recipe
After recreating Mezze Mike’s lamb döner at home and being way too impressed
with myself, I knew I had to try the method again—this time with chicken. If
you’ve ever thought homemade kebabs couldn’t possibly hit the same way as a
takeaway… this
fakeaway recipe
is here to prove you very wrong.
What completely sold me was Mezze Mike’s genius technique of rolling the
mince between two sheets of baking paper and getting it as thin as humanly
possible. No rotisserie, no fancy equipment—just thin, even kebab meat that
bakes quickly and slices up just like the real thing. Honestly, it’s one of
those “why haven’t I always done this?” moments.
This homemade chicken doner kebab recipe is one of my favourite fakeaways because it delivers everything you love about a takeaway kebab, but made at home with simple ingredients. The chicken is juicy, boldly spiced, and packed with flavour, making it perfect for stuffing into warm pittas, wraps, or bowls. If you’re looking for an easy chicken doner kebab at home, this recipe is quick, affordable, and far lighter than a takeaway version. It’s ideal for busy weeknights, meal prep, or when you want a comforting fakeaway chicken doner without leaving the house.
Why You’ll Love This Homemade Chicken Doner Kebab
For my chicken version, I wanted loads of flavour without it feeling heavy,
so I went in with blended red onion, fat-free Greek yoghurt, lemon juice,
and a mix of warm, classic kebab spices. The key step here is really working
the mince, stirring and pressing it down for a good five minutes until
everything binds together properly. It might feel like effort, but this is
what gives you that proper döner texture instead of crumbly chicken mince.
Once it’s rolled super thin between the baking paper, it only needs about 15
minutes in the oven, which makes it perfect for quick dinners or meal prep.
Slice it up, stuff it into warm pittas, drown it in garlic sauce or chilli
sauce (or both, always both), and suddenly you’re eating like it’s kebab
night—but homemade.
This one’s lighter, high in protein, ridiculously easy, and honestly
dangerous because you’ll want to make it all the time. Homemade takeaway
