This recipe was a bit of an experiment. I wanted something that was sweet, yet spicy. Thus, the recipe name. However, the recipe both succeeded and failed.
The successes: Easy, moist chicken legs that browned up nicely in the oven. They did have a slightly sweet flavor.
The fail: There was no hint of spiciness.
There’s something about pita pockets that my kids love, so I had a feeling that this recipe would be a hit. I was right. A friend shared the recipe with me back in the winter when I was looking for meals to stock my freezer. I decided this one would be great to take on vacation. After marinating and cooking the chicken, it is frozen in Ziploc bags. Reheating can be done in the microwave. I served a quick cucumber and yogurt sauce with the sandwiches.
Update: This recipe comes from Cooking Among Friends, which is a freezer meal cooking club. So cool! They have a cookbook available and the Chicken Gyros is part of that. I’m guessing this would be a great cookbook to own. A friend had passed along the Chicken Gyros recipe and I just found out the original source.
