Juicy, marinated chicken stacked & roasted, carved into crispy edges and wrapped up with fries, olives & homemade tzatziki. What more could you want for a high-protein weekday dinner?!
Gyros Chicken
Tzatziki
Extras
These homemade gyros are best served with a few simple, fresh sides that complement the flavours. A crisp Greek-style salad with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and feta works perfectly alongside, while extra olives and a little more tzatziki on the side are great for dipping. If you want something heartier, the crispy skin-on fries in the wrap are ideal, but you could also serve extra fries or roasted potatoes on the side.
Yes – the chicken actually benefits from being prepared in advance. Marinate the chicken thighs in the yoghurt and gyros seasoning in the morning (or even the night before) and leave them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. This gives the flavours more time to develop and keeps the chicken really tender.
If you don’t have a kebab spike, you can stack the marinated chicken thighs onto two metal skewers pushed through half an onion, or simply lay them flat on a baking tray and roast as normal. You won’t get the same stacked effect, but the flavour will still be just as good.
