Diyarbakır Liver Kebab is prepared on skewers that are approximately 60 cm long. The skewers are arranged in the following sequence: 1 liver, 1 tail fat, 2 livers, 1 tail fat, and 1 liver. Once the spices and ingredients are threaded onto the skewers, they are seasoned with the spices. The skewers are then rotated on a flameless fire at a 180-degree angle to ensure even cooking. It is important not to overcook the Diyarbakır Liver Kebab as it can cause it to dry out, which is undesirable.

The Diyarbakır Liver Kebab is served on lavash bread without removing it from the skewers. To maintain warmth, 3-4 pieces of lavash bread, each about 10 cm long, are placed on top of the skewers. Optionally, grilled tomatoes and chili peppers can be added to enhance the dish's presentation.
