  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, pounded flat
  • ½ large yellow onion, peeled and root side removed
  • 1 sturdy wooden skewer (roughly 10 inches)
  • Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 large cucumber, shredded
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 pitas

Steps

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, combine marinade ingredients and stir well.

  • Step 2

    In another large bowl or gallon plastic bag, combine chicken thighs and marinade, stirring well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to one day.

  • Step 3

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Step 4

    In a medium bowl, combine tzatziki ingredients and stir well. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

  • Step 5

    On a baking sheet or a large cast-iron skillet, use the onion half as a base and position the skewer vertically like a spit. Skewer the chicken thighs individually, rotating each one 90 degrees. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let cool for 10 minutes.

    Carve off slices of chicken to fill a pita. Top with onion slices, tomato slices, and tzatziki sauce.
