Can I use different meats in this recipe?

Absolutely! This recipe is versatile, and you can easily swap ground chicken for ground turkey or lamb according to your preference. Just keep an eye on the cooking time as different meats may vary in their cooking duration.

How long can I store the leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat them, just pop them in the oven at 350°F until heated through to retain their crispiness.

Are these rolls suitable for freezing?

Yes, they freeze very well! Before baking, arrange the filled rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, you can bake them from frozen, but increase the baking time by about 5 to 10 minutes.

What are some alternative dips I can serve?

Besides harissa and yogurt, you might enjoy a spicy aioli, tzatziki, or even a citrus-infused hummus. Each adds a distinct flair that pairs deliciously with the spiced chicken.

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Indeed! You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge. When you're ready, assemble the rolls and bake them fresh for your guests to enjoy.
