Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate in the olive oil, garlic, and spices for a few hours or overnight before cooking. If you want a little heat, consider adding some chili flakes to the seasoning mix. Don’t skip the tzatziki sauce; it adds a creamy and refreshing touch that complements the chicken perfectly.
