Roasting Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Peel and slice the ends of Onion off and place into roasting pan. Slice 2-3 thin slices of Onion to layer in between Chicken Thighs. The remaining Onion piece will be the base.
  • Place 3 Skewers into center of Onion base forming a small triangle.
  • Begin layering Chicken Thighs sliding them onto the Skewers in a rotating effect. Be sure to incorporate Onion slices within.
  • Roll a few pieces of Aluminum Foil into balls and place around Onion Base to stabilize and keep Chicken tower from falling over.
  • Gently place in preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165℉. Remove and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Warm the Pitas, slice the Chicken and place a layer down middle. Slice cooked Onion and layer over Chicken. Top with diced Tomatoes and Tzatziki and enjoy with your favorite side.
