How to make Chicken Kebab Plate

Why cooks start here

Chicken Kebab Plate is cooked the way Levant grill tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a middle eastern family cook actually puts it on the table.

In the bustling cities and rural towns of the Levant, the Chicken Kebab Plate finds its place on tables set for shared meals. It's a dish that embodies the everyday joy of gathering around a grill table, where salt is judged by hand and fat is embraced as a friend, not a foe. This home version captures the essence of that tradition, translating it into a recipe that any family cook can recreate. Expect the chicken to be tender and deeply infused with the earthy warmth of shawarma spice, complemented by the fruity richness of olive oil. The flatbread serves as more than just an accompaniment, soaking up the drippings and offering a soft, chewy contrast to the charred edges of the meat. A slice of fresh tomato adds a bright, juicy note, balancing the savory depth of the kebabs.
