Hello my good friends and welcome back
to my kitchen! Today, I will show you how to make chicken gyro. You just need to make a super marinade, put it on the chicken, mix it mix it very
well, and then cook it 5 minutes and it's ready! It's very juicy, aromatic, tender,
and you have only to cook it for 5 minutes! And let's begin with the
marinade. You just need to simply mix everything. In a mortar and pestle, or a
food processor, add 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, grate one clove of
garlic, the grated zest of one lemon, 2 tablespoons of smoked paprika, 2 pinches of chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon dry thyme. Crush them until they become very finely
ground. Add salt and pepper, 60 ml Greek extra virgin olive oil, the juice from
half a lemon, stir until the mixture is completely combined. And your marinade
is ready. Set aside and prepare your chicken. It is better to wear gloves when
handling chicken. I have three boneless skinless chicken thighs that are 600
grams in total. You can also use chicken breast but the meat from the thighs
doesn't dry out easily. Cut the fillets into thin strips and transfer to a bowl. Add the marinade
and mix until the chicken is completely coated in the marinade. It smells so nice!
At this point, you can refrigerate up to two days; the longer you marinate, the
tastier the chicken will be. I'm not so patient, so I have to cook my chicken
now. Add the chicken in batches, so it can brown and caramelize in the right way. It
is very important to remember not to crowd your pan; you want it to brown
nicely, so don't mix it too much. It actually hardly needs any mixing at all;
until you see it starting to brown. If you mix it too often, it will boil instead of
brown. When it's ready, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and stir. The first bach
is ready! Place your chicken gyro in a dish. Wipe down your pan with a paper
towel and place it back over high heat. Let it smoke and add another batch of
chicken. Cut the pita bread into pieces, arrange
them nicely on a platter, drizzle with some Greek extra-virgin olive oil,
sprinkle with some dry oregano, salt and freshly ground pepper. Slice up some
tomatoes, thinly slice some onions, drizzle with
some more olive oil, add some fries, some Greek tzatziki sauce, and of course your
chicken gyro. This is my chicken gyro platter lovely people! You won't be able
to get enough of this dish! I am warning you; and you saw how easy it was to make! You can do it any day of the week or when the guys come over for game night.
You don't need a lot of ingredients to serve the chicken gyro - just tomato, onion, some tzatziki sauce, some chips, and some pita bread. You can find the links for pita
bread and tzatziki and chips at the end of the video. I've already made those
recipes. If you try this gyro you will love me and I have to try some...Oh my god, it's so tender! It literally melts in your mouth, you can feel that. It is so tasty,
so delicious, so tender, so aromatic; I don't know if anybody will understand
that this is actually chicken in five minutes, because we spent only five
minutes to make it. Please make this recipe, you will love me,
please subscribe to my channel, make comments underneath the video. Let me
know what do you want me to cook for you the next time. See you! Bye bye! Yia sas!
