Chicken gyros
Ingredients
- ▢2 lb / 1 kg chicken thigh fillets , boneless skinless
- MARINADE
- ▢3 large garlic cloves , minced (~ 3 tsp)
- ▢1 tbsp white wine vinegar (or red wine or apple cider vinegar)
- ▢3 tbsp lemon juice
- ▢1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ▢3 tbsp Greek yogurt , preferably full fat
- ▢1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
- ▢1 tsp salt
- ▢Black pepper
Instructions
Place the Marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag and massage to mix. Add the chicken into the ziplock bag and massage to cover all the chicken in the Marinade. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably 3 hours, ideally 12 hours and no longer than 24 hours.
Brush the outdoor grill with oil, then preheat on medium high. Or heat 1 tbsp of oil in a fry pan over medium high heat. Remove chicken from Marinade. Cook the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (cooking time depends on size of chicken). Remove the chicken from the grill / fry pan onto a plate. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
