Sweet, smoky, and juicy, this Pineapple Chicken Gyro 🥙 is your favorite gyro with a tropical twist - spiced chicken and caramelized pineapple 🍍 in every irresistible bite.
0 Marinate the chicken in olive oil, yogurt, and spices for at least 30 minutes up to overnight. Cut a peeled and cored pineapple into rings.
1 Massage oil on the gyro plate so nothing sticks. Layer the chicken and pineapple onto the vertical spit. First, place the pineapple ring at the bottom.
3 Next, add two thighs (threaded criss cross) on top of the pineapple.
7 Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
8 Finish with a pineapple at the top. Add broth or water to the bottom of the pan.
5 Bake at 400F (205C) for one hour, or until chicken reaches 160F (70C) internally.
6 Tip: add foil on top and adjust the water if the chicken starts to brown too fast or the liquid evaporates.
