Tips

  • Don’t skip the mustard. It gives the chicken a delicious tang and helps the seasonings to stick.
  • Highly recommend making this on a Traeger grill for an incredible wood-fired flavor and perfectly even cooking.
  • Serve the gyros as a platter with some salad, rice and potatoes or wrap it in a fresh flatbread with homemade tzatziki, tomato, onion and a dusting of smoked paprika.
  • Perfect for a weekend get-together or meal prep for the week.
  • Happy Father’s Day!
