Instructions

Step 1

1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized cubes. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and minced garlic, then add olive oil, lemon juice, and bay leaves. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 2

2. For the pita, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast in a glass. Mix and let the yeast activate for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture. Mix initially with a spoon, then use your hands to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (a stand mixer can be used for convenience). Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Step 3

3. Transfer the dough to a floured working surface, give it a light knead, and roll it into a ball. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, rolling each piece into a ball. Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a circle. Cover with a clean towel and let them rise for about 20 minutes. Place the pita on a Cusimax hot plate or well preheated pan. Once bubbles form, flip to cook the other side.

Step 4

4. For the tzatziki, mix all ingredients together and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 5

5. For the French fries, slice the potatoes into wedges and rinse them in ice-cold water. Drain well, then toss with salt, pepper, oregano, and olive oil. Air fry at 220°C (428°F) for 20 minutes.. Once cooked, sprinkle with lemon zest and dill.
