My husband Tommy loves Greek food (he is obsessed with my lamb -gyro -loib the Skiny button -meal supply Cookbook), so he is never upset when these chickens are on the menu! I marine the skinless chicken legs without bones without chicken (they can also use chicken breast) and cook them in the Air fryerPan or grill. It works excellently with every cooking method that you choose! He likes his on a Pita with all fixed and I serve my feta salad over a large chopped feta salad. Everyone is happy! I also have chicken Shawarma and Street Cart Chicken with a white sauce, which is also popular!
