This is great! The meat comes out so juicy and flavorful! I omitted the salt and used fat free Greek yogurt with the hummus. So good! I took advantage of a good sale on chicken leg quarters, so I cooked both thighs and drumsticks this way and used the thighs as directed. The drumsticks were great sliced over a salad with Greek dressing for lunch the next day! Thanks for sharing!

Very good. I used a combination of 4 breasts with bone in and 6 thighs, because it was what I had, so I used a bit more marinade, but same ingredients. I did let mine marinade all day which I thought really helped. I grilled mine, but only took 30 minutes to grill, it says 1 hour. Mine was 30 minutes and perfectly tender. I did baste as directions stated. I used seedless cucumbers and plum tomatoes, also seeded, otherwise, the Naan (I had it on hand, so I used that but Pita would of been great) would of got too wet for me. I added, black olives rough chopped as well which I like with the flavors and I had a 1/2 of can so why not use them up. Very good, will make again. A great sandwich Thx!!

Very good – perfect recreation of a favorite restaurant. I substituted the chicken thighs for thin chicken breast; and then did a quick pan fry of everything in there.
