  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, 0.7kg total
  • ⅛ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard
  • 6 cloves minced garlic, or 3 very large ones
  • Zest of two lemons
  • ½ tablespoon salt (adjust if using table salt)
  • Dry oregano, to taste
  • 1 cup water, or chicken stock (for the bottom of the pan)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, honey Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and dry oregano. Mix thoroughly.
  • Marinate for at least one hour or overnight for enhanced flavor.
  • If you lack a Vertical Gyro Oven Plate, cut an onion in half, place it on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and stick two wooden skewers vertically in the onion halves to form a DIY spit.
  • Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the spit or DIY setup, alternating the direction of each thigh.
  • Place in the oven and add 1 cup of water or stock to the pan to help create a sauce.
  • Optionally, cover the top chicken thigh with a small piece of foil to prevent over-browning.
  • Bake for 75-90 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove from oven, let it rest before slicing, and serve.
