Using it for shawarma
Heat the skillet until very hot, add a thin film of oil, and sear marinated meat in batches so it browns instead of steaming. It can also go into a hot oven to roast whole thighs, then onto the stove for a final crisp.
Alternatives
An electric griddle gives you more surface for bigger batches. On the grill, use metal skewers.
