We REALLY liked this marinade! Flavor and ease of recipe; I would rate 5 stars. Why it’s getting a 4 (4.5 if I could) once I had it all cooked – I realized this would be dry if I had no sauce! While the recipe doesn’t need to provide one (this is for the chicken marinade) – to have a cook note calling out that you could serve with Tztaziki or ranch or something! I never even thought about it until I was all done cooking and about to assemble my pitas! I’m a seasoned cook! So, upon realizing this – we served with Ranch dressing. I wasn’t about to whip one up and let the chicken get cold. Still very good. A homemade Tztaziki would be better. Served on pitas with cubed cucumber, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion and sliced black olives. Wish I had feta but finely shredded Parmesan worked in a pinch. For this recipe – just like making gyros – use a good, thin, pliable pita (I used Joseph’s which is flax, oat bran and whole wheat. Amazing!). Overall – will absolutely make again and just be more prepared next time!
