This recipe was born out of a craving for something bold and nostalgic. One evening, after flipping through old travel photos, I found myself dreaming of the delicious gyros I had in a tiny taverna in Athens—juicy, spiced meat wrapped in soft pita, topped with creamy tzatziki, and bursting with freshness.
Back home, I wanted to recreate that experience—but without turning on the grill or waiting hours. I reached for my air fryer, seasoned some chicken thighs with classic Greek spices, and within 20 minutes, I had gyros that tasted just like the ones from my trip. Now, this dish has become a beloved weeknight staple in my kitchen: fast, full of flavor, and always a hit with family and friends.
