Start with 2 lb of ground chicken (dark meat) for more fat and flavor.

Add salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 tablespoons of seven spice powder, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of dried mint, 2 tablespoons of finely diced garlic, 1/4 cup of finely diced onion, 1 teaspoon of sliced green chili, 1/2 cup of parsley, and the juice of half a lemon.

Mix all the ingredients well together.

Transfer the mixture to a greased sheet or cookie pan.

Flatten the mixture outwards, leaving a few inches on either side.

Use a flat tool like a bench scraper to tidy up the sides for straight lines.

Mark the kebabs using a ruler for even portions.

Lightly score the kebabs horizontally to mimic grill marks and help with cooking.

Push out the kebabs slightly to create space between them for even browning.

Transfer the sheet pan to a preheated oven at 300°F for 30 to 45 minutes.

Finish off with a few minutes in the broiler for extra browning.

Optionally, flip the kebabs using two spatulas, ensuring the meat is sturdy enough to turn.
