Chicken is leaner and more affordable.

Combine 500 grams of lamb with 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

Crush the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture, then mix everything together thoroughly.

Ensure the lamb mince is fatty, using an 80/20 ratio for the best consistency.

Shape the mixture into a log around a large metal rod that fits onto a chicken rotisserie.

Moisten your hands with water to help shape the meat and prevent sticking.

Wrap the meat tightly around the rod, ensuring the ends are closed and the meat is compact.

Wrap the meat log in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer overnight.

The next day, remove the meat from the freezer and preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Carefully unwrap the meat from the plastic wrap before cooking.

Set up the BBQ rotisserie with direct flames, inserting the rod with the meat into the rotisserie.

Cook the meat on the rotisserie for about 25 minutes, monitoring the color and doneness.

At the 10-minute mark, check for a beautiful brown color on the outside.

Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for around 71 degrees Celsius.

Once the meat reaches around 79-80 degrees Celsius, remove it from the grill.

Let the meat rest for a moment, then slice it thinly starting from the top with a sharp knife.
