Chicken Gyros On The Souvla
Enjoy chicken gyros on the souvla, marinated in Greek olive oil and spices. Perfect for gatherings or a cosy meal, savour the authentic taste of Greek cuisine.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken (thigh fillet)
- 50 ml olive oil
- ½ tablespoon mustard (dijon)
- 14 grams salt
- 1.5 grams black pepper
- 1.5 grams oregano
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
Instructions
Preparing the chicken
- To a bowl add and mix the oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Clean the chicken thighs and add to a bowl. Pour over the marinade.
- Give the chicken a good mix to ensure the marinade it is covering every section.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- With your spit, place one gyros disc and start layering your chicken onto the spit.
- Once you reach the end, place your second gyros disc at the end and secure tightly.
Cooking the gyros
- Place the spit on your souvla, starting at a higher height for 40 minutes. Here we are cooking the chicken without giving it to much colour.
- Then lower closer to the heat for 20 minutes for some colour.
- Once the outer layer is cooked and has crispy pieces, take the spit off and cut off the uneven crunchy pieces (great for meze!).
- Place the spit back onto the souvla to brown up again.
- Continuously cut the outer layer when it is cooked and cripsy.
- Keep going till your gyros is finished.
- Serve to your liking and enjoy!

Notes
This marinade recipe is based on 1kg on chicken thigh fillet.
Please note that the cooking time all depends on how large you make your gyros. The larger the spit the longer it will take to cook.
