Gyro Ingredients
Method
Gyro Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the harissa paste, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally for 2 hours.

Cook the Chicken
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Pita
While the chicken is resting, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly charred and heated through.

Assemble the Gyro
Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Place a generous amount of chicken on each warmed pita. Top with sliced cucumber, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.
