I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last 4 hours 😂😂 so hungry

[@bottysbbq1422]

Another great video Elky. A lot of love has gone into that cook (and Stella!). That Braai looks like it's a must have bit of kit as well. Keep the videos coming mate - great channel!

[@TheSmokinElk]

Cheers Botty, I really appreciate the feedback!

[@wesroberts3823]

Cooked this on Sunday and it will now be on our rotation forever. Everyone loved it ! Thanks for the video !

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamieroberts3682]

This is my first time watching. Great vid, great production, Stella and no salad! Finally a Channel I can relate to.

[@TheSmokinElk]

Thanks very much! Yeah I'm not a salad kinda guy!

[@danieleason1209]

Made this today Elky…. OMFG.. absolutely stunning. Did a 5kg special on the Weber rotisserie for my 40th birthday party, literally had everyone asking for take home & the recipe. Can’t wait to work my way through some more of ur videos 👌🏻

[@TheSmokinElk]

Boom! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@damiancarson6300]

Been wanting to try this for a while now. First use of my new Onlyfire Rotisserie on the Weber Master Touch, followed your instructions and oooh yes it was amazing, Including the home made flatbreads. Thank you. 🤤

[@sejonmusic]

Absolutely bangin'! Good stuff Elky!

[@TheSmokinElk]

Cheers mate, hope you're well!

[@jamessanders9134]

Made 1KG of this tonight and it was amazing. Wife and 2 kids loved it and even got some left over for my packed lunch tomorrow. Thanks for sharing 👌🏽

Fantastic cook, lovely flat bread recipe. I was really worried you wouldn't stay hydrated sporting your heavy apron, but luckily you found a cold Stella. 100% your lass couldn't hear what you said lol

[@markquigg456]

Looks awesome. Will definitely give this a go

[@TheSmokinElk]

Cheers mate, let me know how you get on!

[@kevinblackburn5703]

Made this amazing recipe a few months back and we make it every week or so it’s a big hit. I also make a Mediterranean three ingredient salad to go with it. First video I have ever responded to this recipe is that good. Wow thank you.

[@TheSmokinElk]

Sorry for the late reply. Glad you like the recipe - whats your secret salad?

[@kevinblackburn5703]

It’s more of I guess a salsa for the chicken than a salad. It’s Roma tomatoes diced English cucumber diced Italian parsley finely chopped and lemon juice black pepper and olive oil. Really simple and adds a little more of a citrus taste to an already amazing dish by itself.

[@alanprice3304]

Hi, as a newcomer to the Kamado world, I decided to have a go at your Chicken Shawarma recipe today. We had the family around and although it took longer than expected to cook it was a massive hit with all, even the two grandchildren who are nearly 3 years old. I substituted Mayo with garlic mint yoghurt. My daughter took some home for her partner and he had to phone me to say how good it was. So a big thank you for the video and recipe.

[@TheSmokinElk]

Perfect, glad you enjoyed it!

[@xrayhead]

Looks banging mate, flatbread looked really nice. I worked in Jorden for 6 months and these things were everyday meals.

[@TheSmokinElk]

Thanks mate. I absolutely love shawarma!

[@ewerickson]

Got in trouble with my wife watching this. I’ve never seen a Braai designed like that with a rotisserie. Now my wife is convinced I’m going to buy one. I just might need to source one in the US!

[@TheSmokinElk]

I absolutely love cooking on mine, such great fun!

[@clarkelongbottom9021]

Done this a couple of times now and it's a banger ,the flat breads are spot on too won't be buying them again ,even the kids enjoyed it

[@TheSmokinElk]

Lovely stuff, glad you enjoyed it!

[@geoffgivry]

Thanks a lot for this gorgeous recipe! I've done it 3 times on my Kadai and I have to say that it became my favourite chicken to cook! You are a rock star! ;-)

Thanks for the message, glad you enjoy the videos. How was your shawarma?

[@shaunbourne9107]

@@TheSmokinElk I did this on the weber with the rotisserie, burgers etc on the grill around the outer circle (grill centre not in). Tasted fantastic and everyone loved it. Great recipe - keep them coming. (I have since done a lamb shoulder/pork shoulder kebab too which was similarly received by my friends) all thanks to you guys showing us how to get it done. Thank you.

[@BlakeDale]

Really nice video, I think I'd like to see if I can give this a go on my Barbeskew (admittedly not quite the same wow visual factor you have but I like it all the same) because that chicken Shawarma looks so good. I like the clamps you've used on your skewer, they look proper strong, do you remember where did you get them from?

[@TheSmokinElk]

Hi. The clamps came with the rotisserie. Give it a go, you can cook it on skewers too and it'll be fantastic!

[@BlakeDale]

@@TheSmokinElk Will do, thanks, and again, excellent video.

[@chrisfisher3900]

You just made me hungry as hell. I think that wood in the states is known as mesquite. Can you do a vid on that braii so I can build me one

[@zc731]

Great video! I’m just about to pull the trigger and get one of these braai’s and nice to see it in use! Have you ever cooked a large chicken with the rotisserie? Or even a turkey...? Thinking Xmas dinner turkey on this would be nice if the heat and cooking times were worked out well

[@TheSmokinElk]

Hey dude. Are you UK based? Give me a shout if so as I may be able to help you with a deal on the braai!

[@zc731]

That would’ve been cool but I just ordered one last night! Expecting delivery in a coupe weeks... live in north london so hoping to get plenty of use out of it even in the winter

[@ctubauer6319]

Try natural yogurt mixed with mint sauce instead of the mayo mate, a little squeeze of lemon juice! 😋

[@TheSmokinElk]

Perfect choice!

[@bluenosepe]

Nailed it lad. I’ve two questions if you don’t mind. 1) did you grease the grill for the bread not to stick? And 2) where did you get your slicing knife from and what’s it called? Thanks for any help.

[@TheSmokinElk]

No need to grease the grill but it wont do any harm. The knife is a Victorinox 12 Inch Fibrox Pro Slicing Knife with Granton Blade

[@eggcatcher]

What sort of temp would you do this on a KJ?

[@orange44peel]

Hello can you prep the chicken with the marinade and freeze it , hooe you can help Love your vids cheers Neil

[@TheSmokinElk]

Don't see why not!

[@MrGotchacp]

Been looking for this video! Thought I saved it couldn’t fine for a year🤔

[@drich810]

After slicing the "crispy bits" off, can the shawarma be returned to rotesserie to cook more crispy bits? Thanks, great video.

[@TheSmokinElk]

Absolutely, but you might want to brush on some more marinade

[@TheBanksHouse]

This looks bloody superb, I wanna try this on my weber charcoal kettle rotisserie going in direct heat what temp should I am for and time wise ?

[@TheSmokinElk]

Thanks very much. It'll definitely work on the kettle - aim for an internal temp of 73c. Cook temp of around 200c

[@fullsendfantasy]

How did it go Steve? I’m pretty keen to try myself

[@jonovangrinsven1298]

Got the chicken marinating ready to go!! How long did the chicken take? Also doing 2kg. It will be the first cook on the new Braai!!

Happy days mate
