Using it for shawarma
Stack thinly sliced, marinated chicken thighs (or beef or lamb) tightly on the spit, let it turn next to the heat, and carve off the browned outer layer as it cooks. Check the thickest part of chicken with a thermometer: it should reach 165°F (74°C). Follow the manual for loading, timing and cleaning.
Alternatives
If you cook shawarma only occasionally, a cast iron skillet or electric griddle gets you most of the flavor with less counter space. Read is a home shawarma machine worth it?
