Gyros with a combination of chicken and lamb

 

When I have to cater for a gathering, my "go-to" meat on a spit is always chicken and lamb mixed gyros. While some people are sceptical of combining lamb and chicken gyros, I assure them that I have done it dozens of times and have never food poisoned anyone!

To ensure that the chicken is thoroughly cooked, grill the gyros on the carving tray for a few minutes after the gyros have been carved. This crisps up the outside even more and adds to the delicious flavour. I've compiled a list of my favourite ingredients, as well as a video tutorial on how to make gyros at home, below. If you're pressed for time, simply bring your rotisserie skewer to the butcher and they'll do it all for you.

Ingredients:

• Chicken thighs

• Lamb shoulders

• Salt

• Cayenne pepper

• Sweet paprika

• Chilli flakes

• Onion powder

• Fresh Crushed garlic

• Cumin powder

• Olive oil

• Thyme

 

Preparation:

 

Using a sharp knife, cut the meat into 1cm thick slices.

Marinate the lamb and chicken separately with the ingredients listed above.
