Chicken Shawarma

Got a new toy yesterday and decided to give it a go with some shawarma. I think I need to tweak the temp/time, but this turned out pretty darn delicious and was relatively easy. I made the marinade yesterday and got it in for a 24 hour soak. After assembling the meat tower today and getting it on the Searwood, I prepped the tzatziki, cabbage, cukes and the rest of the 'sides'. Relatively low stress meal. The recipe (linked below) called for 400F, but I think 350 or 375 would do better, with maybe a little higher heat to finish. Didn't get a ton of pics, but have a before, during, and right before I wrapped shots. Anyway, I highly recommend.

Chicken sliced, side prepped, and assembled in a burrito before wrapping (didn't have any decent pita or flatbread at Wegman's).

I am definitely looking to try some Al Pastor next.
 
Got a local place here that opened up a couple years ago and introduced me to shawarma, not something you find everywhere in Iowa but I've learned it's awesome. Thanks for link to that pan, it is probably gonna get added to my arsenal.

Lol. I totally missed the Amazon link!
 
Oh my, that looks good.
Is that the same thing I see at those hole in the wall places in like in Ensenada Mexico?
I like it when they shave off some for me 🌮 .

It looks amazing.
I always wanted to cook meat like that.
Other than temps is there anything that you might do different?

Not much I'd change, to be honest.
