Chicken Donair Meat Recipe

Chicken Donair Meat Recipe

This chicken donair meat recipe is a homemade take on the classic Canadian East Coast donair, made with ground chicken and warm spices, then baked into a firm loaf and thinly sliced. It’s savory, slightly spiced, and perfect for stuffing into pita with tomatoes, onions, and donair sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tbsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, optional for structure
• 2 tbsp cold water, optional for mixing

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
2. Mix the ground chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne, coriander, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
3. Shape the mixture into a tight log and wrap it very tightly in foil.
4. Bake for 1 hour, then unwrap and bake 15 to 20 minutes more until cooked through and lightly browned.
5. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice as thinly as possible.
6. Serve in pita or flatbread with onions, tomatoes, and donair sauce.
