- 8 (2 lb / 1 kg) boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp. (30 ml) oil
- 1 lemon juiced, zested
- 2 small-medium cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. (2 g) dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 2 cups (75 g) shredded lettuce
- ½ red onion, sliced
- ½ cup (75 g) crumbled feta cheese
- 4 to 6 Pita or Naan bread, warmed
- 1 cup (240 g) Tzatziki
Garlic Fries
- ¼ cup (59 ml) neutral-flavored oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. (1 g) oregano
- Salt to taste
- 1 package frozen fries
- Prepare the marinade by combining the oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic and oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks, adding the chunks to the marinade and tossing to coat. Refrigerate until needed – 1 hour to overnight. Now would be a great time to make homemade tzatziki too.
- Preheat the barbecue to 425°F (218°F) by lighting all of the bottom burners.
- In a bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, shredded lettuce, red onion and crumbled feta. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Add the fries to a bowl, pour over the oil, add the garlic and oregano, season to taste and toss to coat everything evenly. Pour the coated fries into the Napoleon Tumble Basket, securing it to a spit rod. Fit the spit onto the barbecue and turn on your rotisserie motor. Cook the fries for 15 to 45 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Once the fries are on, skewer the marinated chicken onto metal or soaked bamboo skewers. Grill the meat over direct heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, rotating occasionally.
- Serve everything together by piling the salad, fries and chicken on a warmed pita or naan spread with tzatziki. You can garnish with olives, extra tzatziki, or whatever you like!

My chicken thighs were being boring. I didn’t feel like slathering them in barbecue sauce or turning them into sesame chicken. Instead, I thought I would liven things up with a lemon-based marinade. Imagine it! Succulent chicken with the tangy, Mediterranean flavors of lemon, oregano and garlic.
