This oven method gives you döner at home without a vertical rotisserie. Skewers pushed into an onion base keep the chicken upright, and the marinade soaks into every layer. A practical, high-protein main for a crowd or a family dinner.
Method
In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic and all the spices.
Add the boneless thighs and toss until they are thoroughly coated.
Halve the onion and set the bottom half cut side down on a baking tray.
Push four thick wooden skewers upright into the onion.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers one piece at a time and cap the stack with the other onion half.
Brush the leftover marinade all over the chicken.
Roast in an oven preheated to 200 °C for 50-60 minutes.
If the center is still underdone, slice it and return it to the oven for another 10 minutes.
