I really wish I could share this Greek Chicken Gyros recipe with you along with stories of amazing times in Greece. Conjuring up memories of seemingly endless stretches of pristine beaches, ancient ruins, sipping ouzo and nibbling on olives.
This Greek Chicken Gyros is a really fab recipe for entertaining. Because it is really fast to prepare and the men can BBQ while the girls sip wine and chatter. (Joke joke JOKE!!!) Then you can just lay everything out on the table. Why should you slave away, rolling up a gyros for everyone? Make ’em do it themselves!
The marinade for the chicken is so sensational that I use it even when I'm not making Gyros! This is fantastic for entertaining because you can just lay it all out for guests to help themselves. The smell when the chicken is cooking is incredible - you can really smell the oregano.
