for my recent tandoori experiments i bought some skewers and have been
skewering everything and then balancing them above my grill tray (skewer
ends resting on the raised sides etc)

for chicken breasts, shoving in a couple of skewers to make it easy to
turn them over without the chicken just revolving round the skewer might
be a good idea (that i am going to use next time now i think of it)

This is what puts apart my fave kebab shop (Laroash by ealing broadway
station - http://www.cowfish.org.uk/gallery/Buildings/kebab - the first
piccy i took with my digital camera...) from the others, they dollop on
loads of yoghurt with safeways mint sauce in on top of your doner if you
want (i thought it was some special yoghurty sauce until i saw the guy
come back from safeways and make some more by just combining lots of
yoghurt and a jar of mint sauce - how obvious it seems now...)
