Instructions

  1. Marinade your chicken thighs in the juice of a lemon, 4 cloves of crushed garlic, 4 big tablespoons of yoghurt, a tablespoon of oregano and salt and pepper. Make sure its properly coated for extra flavour. Give it 3 hours minimum covered in the fridge.
  2. When we're nearing the 2 and a half hour of marinating mark, Whip up a salad with cubed cucumber, white onion, diced tomato (make sure to remove the seeds to avoid wet salad), salt, pepper, two teaspoons of oregano and a good handful of chopped parsley. Mix in some olive oil and lemon juice also. You can do this in a big bowl.
  3. At this point we want to get some frozen oven chips in to an oven to crisp up. Probably at 180ºC.
  4. To make some tzatziki we grate half a cucumber and squeeze the water out if we can be bothered. add to bowl with a pinch of salt, some pepper, a grated small garlic clove, a dash of lemon juice, and about three tablespoons of yoghurt. mix that all up.
  5. Flatbreads are just plain flour, warm water, olive oil, a bit of pepper and some oregano (about a tablespoon). mix that all in a bowl. if it seems too dry just add a little more water, if its too wet, add a little more flour. knead into a dough and set aside.
  6. Get a little oil into a frying pan and fry your chicken thighs, flip after about 2 mins and fry the other side. they should brown up nicely. we can then add them to a tray and stick them in the oven whilst we prepare the flatbreads.
  7. Make a ball of dough into a flatbread shape by stretching it out then chuck it onto a screaming hot non-stick pan and give it about a minute before flipping and giving the other side a minute, they wont take long, you want a nice bit of leopard spotting.
  8. Get everything out the oven and prepare the wraps on a bit of tin foil. add tzatziki to flatbread, then salad, then chopped up chicken, then chips. Roll it up and add a little more tzatziki, DELICIOUS.
