Cooking method

  • Greek gyros in the ovenRemove the bone from the thighs. Wash, dry.
  • Prepare all the seasonings for the sauce.
  • Greek gyros in the ovenPour the thighs with yogurt, grate the garlic. Pour in oil and lemon juice.
  • Greek gyros in the ovenAdd the rest of the seasoning.
  • Greek gyros in the ovenMix everything thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours. I had my hips for almost two days.
  • Greek gyros in the ovenCover the baking sheet with foil. I cut the onion in half, as is practically shown in any recipe of this kind, and regretted it. We need to take something more ambitious. I think that beets would be good. In the course of baking, I had to cut the onion and substitute the potatoes. Insert a few skewers.
  • Greek gyros in the ovenString the thighs crosswise, put on half an onion on top. He will protect the meat. For strength, you can also pierce the meat with skewers from four sides.
  • Greek gyros in the ovenPut the structure in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees for 80-90 minutes.
  • Greek gyros in the oven
  • Greek gyros in the ovenGrate the cucumber, finely grate the garlic. Chop the dill. Add everything to yogurt or sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice if desired. Mix. The sauce is ready.
  • Greek gyros in the ovenGet the meat. Cut thinly across the entire height. Put in pita or pita bread with vegetables, salad and sauce.
  • Greek gyros in the oven
  • Cooking is not difficult, the main thing is to do it with love for your loved ones!

Note

There are tons of options for this dish on the Internet. I liked the Positive Kitchen channel.
This is delicious. The chicken just melts in your mouth. Spicy, aromatic. The dzaziki sauce gives it a special charm.
I wrote about the "pitfalls" in the recipe itself. Otherwise, everything is in order. Recommend!

Irina Dolars
I'd like to try it!
Imagine how fragrances spread inside and outside the home

Memo for yourself
How to attach skewers ...



Peel, grate and strain the cucumber for DZADZIKI sauce to remove excess moisture


ang-kay
Irina, that's for sure. It smelled everywhere)
Irina Dolars
Angela, thanks for the "pitfalls"

Letter


ang-kay
Well, how not to write?
Myrtle
Angela, the gyros is wonderful, delicious!
ang-kay
Natasha, Thank you. Delicious, not even the right word. He's just freaky)
Weigela
ang-kay, Angela, why is half an onion in the bottom bad? Is it not stable or what?
ang-kay
Alevtina, Yes. The onion begins to cook and deforms. The center of gravity is shifting. Even the potatoes are not very good.
Scarlett
Angela, and if you use bread? I bought a chicken today, I'll pickle it right now, but I have small onions, and you doubt it too, but my eyes fell on the breadbasket by accident
ang-kay
Tatyana, how would it not burn? The bow is definitely not necessary. A big beetle, as for me, is the best.
Scarlett
Resolved! Tomorrow I will buy a large buryachina, I have already made the marinade and temporarily (before dinner) threw in slices of the tenderized collar. After supper I will put chicken in the same marinade (how I hate taking bones out of thighs)
Bread can really burn from the bottom and ruin everything - the temperature is decent
: girl_haha: No, I'll take a bigger beet, I'll boil a few more for a couple - my husband loves salad with onions and butter. Yes, I bought a young, juicy onion, marinate it and serve it with the meat along with your sauce. In short, I have a feeling that I can make up a menu for a whole week. Everyone, I'm running to the store
ang-kay
Come on. But the meat in this recipe is delicious. I hope you can write how it turned out)
Scarlett
Hi there! It so happened that I will bake today, the meat is in the refrigerator, but yesterday I was absolutely not strong. We have such a crazy humidity that I literally crawled from work. We ate all sorts of leftovers from the refrigerator and went to sleep. So debut is for dinner tonight
ang-kay
We are waiting.
Scarlett
I am reporting! I really liked the marinade, but my husband said that next time I would do it only with pork I fried steaks from the collar, marinating them for a couple of hours, it was very good, but not too rich in taste of spices and seasonings, but the chicken after almost two days of soaking is very fragrant but .... chicken is not meat. Therefore, next time I will pickle pork, but longer than a couple of hours - it seems to me that two days - it’s the very thing By the way, I collected it on a beet, but still the structure seemed to me not very stable, so I made another roller around from crumpled foil - stood like a glove
Antonovka
And I bought my legs yesterday, but without the skin - I hope that it will be no less tasty)))
Scarlett
Linen, of course it will work! We just don't eat chicken in almost any form, but I do not give up the hope of inventing something so and so ... Maybe it's just that we just sell it so tasteless
Antonovka
Scarlett,
If yours is tasteless, then we do, Tanya, I don't know which one. It's just that my son can't have fatty meat at all, so I'm getting out as much as I can))

TatyanaAlthough chicken is not meat, I like chicken here. You need to marinate longer. I don't marinate for less than a day. I am glad that I liked the marinade.

I do not know? I quite like our chicken. Not a home broiler, but it is clear that the chicken

Of course it will be. And don't hesitate. Pickle only longer.
Antonovka
Quote: ang-kay
Pickle only longer.
I'll pickle today, and I'll do it tomorrow))




Angel,
And you skipped garlic in the marinade)) How much should you add? I'll put a clove))
Antonovka
Failed
But it turned out very tasty
I will repeat, thank you, Angel, huge from all of us))

It's so bad that messages are attached within 24 hours. I could not answer ((. I put three teeth, you can see it in the first step-by-step photo.

Lena, and fastened to what? Tanya, over there, also framed a foil ring. I didn't think of it).
Quote: Antonovka
I will repeat
Despite the "blockage", your gyros is very beautiful. I'm glad I liked the meat. I myself really love)
Antonovka
ang-kay,
I fastened it to the potatoes)) I'll try next time with a ring))
ang-kay
Potatoes are not an option. I also suffered for the first time. Large beets are best.
Antonovka
ang-kay,
Angel, there was no beet, and when I bought food for gyros, I forgot. On the other hand, it fell and fell, it still baked)) I think today the hips in the skin (the son left) buy and do it right))
ang-kay
I'm glad you will repeat)
Yarik
It's good that the girls picked up the recipe, yesterday they marinated the chicken, put it in the oven now, took two medium beets, cut in half, wrapped its foil, if it is not very saturated with juices, you can put it on the side dish))) put the skewers in three halves, later fried I'll show you the report. Until then

Thank you very much! I did it! Conclusions: take more beets. Make the marinade more vigorous or keep the chicken in it longer: I put it overnight and made it for dinner. Here I put only one clove of garlic, but I had 4 thighs. I wanted something sharper later.A! I didn't have chili! Very tender meat! I put this into pita. Next time I will do it with pita bread, probably. With pita it was uncomfortable for us to eat, somehow everything fell out. But still very tasty and original. My adult son really appreciates extraordinary dishes, something new. He liked it, thanked him. I'm having some difficulty with inserting photos from my tablet. Therefore, I may not insert a photo of the filling and sauce, although I will try. Thanks again !

Olga, it turned out beautifully. I hope you enjoyed the dish.
Yarik
Well, we ate too much))) it's very tasty, spicy and juicy! Angela, thank you very much for the recipe! And the beets did it, they baked themselves, the meat on the three halves keeps very well.

Yaroslavna, it turned out gorgeous. I'm glad it's delicious. What does the collective mind mean ?! Put one foil ring, put the other on three halves of beets. So we'll come to a common denominator)




Quote: Oroma
I did it!
Olga, that's great. Everyone must derive the proportions of sharpness for themselves. Cook for health!
Yarik
Olga, and we eat such as shawarma on a plate, put everything, pour sauce and pita or lavash with a bite.
Antonovka
Damn, I forgot to buy beets !!! Will collapse again))
Yarik
Lena, today I saw an option on the Internet, the meat is pierced with skewers and put all this on the grate, at the bottom there is a pallet to collect fat and juice, try this.
Antonovka
Yarik,
I also thought about it))
Oroma
Antonovka, Lenn! Beets are not the main thing. You understand, it's just a stand. If there are large potatoes, then they will do. Very tasty thighs themselves are obtained. Well, the sauce adorns undeniably
Antonovka
Oroma,
I, Ol, have already marinated for the second time) I don't have large potatoes, I'll think of something)
Antonovka
My idea was hovering, hovering. ... I went to a cheap store today, bought a plate holder for 55 rubles.

Antonovka, cool idea with a stand!
And the gyros is great!
Antonovka
julia_bb,
Julia, and, most importantly, the idea is economical and working))
ang-kay
Lena, the gyros is excellent. Stand and your inquiring mind are beyond praise. And I am glad that the dish is in the house for a long time, if the accessories are bought.
Antonovka
ang-kay,
I love, Angel, that the recipe is quick and clean and can be prepared in advance. Thanks for sharing))
Anna67
I will definitely cook, otherwise the purchased shawarma has become absolutely none. And this is practically it.

Antonovka, well done, I like about onions, brown and potatoes read immediately began to mentally survey the stocks of coasters and all kinds of skewers So potatoes and onions, if anything, for a snack. After all, chicken fat and marinade will drip? It should be tasty.
Oroma
ang-kay, Angela! Yesterday I did this gyros again! Consider, I don’t know the taste of purchased shawarma. I ate with horror once a long time ago. With horror, because it is not clear who is preparing it and how. And here is such a yummy! The sauce is fragrant! I was too lazy to go in the dark to pick thyme in the garden, I did without it, and the marjoram was not caught. She put the rest. The poor niece, who still dreams of losing weight, ate as many as two envelopes / bags with a filling at dinner ... then she suffered and died from gluttony, but kept repeating: how delicious it was! Great recipe!
ang-kay
Olga, I'm glad that the recipe stuck. Indeed, it is very tasty.
