Chicken Gyro Ingredients
Method
Chicken Gyro Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed. Add the boneless chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cook the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
