The ingredients needed to make Chicken Gyros:
  1. 500 g chicken thigh fillets (deboned)
  2. 1 cup (250 ml) Greek or natural yoghurt
  3. 25 ml lemon juice
  4. 50 ml olive oil
  5. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper(less if you don’t want it too spicy)
  6. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  7. 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  9. 2-3 cloves crushed garlic

Instructions to make Chicken Gyros:

  2. Add flattened chicken thighs - I used the palm of my hand to gently flatten so that all the pieces were about the same thickness
  3. Marinade for a minimum of 2 -4 hours
  4. Assemble marinated chicken thighs on the skewer - add at right angles to each other to even out the gyros stack.
  5. Bake in oven at 200 degrees centigrade for 1 hour 20 minutes or until cooked through. The outside will get a little burnt but don’t worry - important to check the inside is cooked.
  6. Remove from oven, cool slightly and then slice. Serve with salad and pita bread. A nice side dish is some yoghurt with mint (in winter I substitute a teaspoon of mint sauce from fresh mint).
