Method
- 01
Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, half the garlic, the oregano, salt and pepper. Toss the chicken through it.
- 02
Marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the fridge for much better results.
- 03
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes so they do not burn.
- 04
Make the tzatziki: combine the yoghurt, squeezed cucumber, remaining garlic, dill and a pinch of salt. Chill until needed.
- 05
Thread the chicken onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces so the heat can get around them.
- 06
Grill over high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until charred at the edges and cooked through.
- 07
Rest 5 minutes, then serve in warm pita with the tzatziki, tomato and red onion.
