Chicken Gyros

Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a large bowl.
- 2
Add the chicken thighs and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- 3
When ready to cook, bring the chicken to room temperature for 20 minutes.
- 4
Heat a large griddle or frying pan over high heat with a splash of oil.
- 5
Cook the chicken thighs for 6–7 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes.
- 6
Slice or chop the chicken into strips.
- 7
Warm the pittas in a dry pan or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds each side.
- 8
Fill the pittas with chicken, tomato, red onion, and parsley. Serve with tzatziki.
Notes
Overnight marinating gives noticeably better flavour. Chicken thighs are essential — breasts will dry out. A griddle pan gives the best char but a regular frying pan works fine.
