Recipe VIDEO above. A homemade version of the chicken kebab rolls you get at your favourite kebab shop! It tastes remarkably similar to the kebab shop chicken meat. I oven bake it, but imagine it rotisserie style over the BBQ or charcoal! You will need 4 long metal skewers for this, around 30cm / 12" long.
