  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 6-8 minced garlic cloves
Yogurt Sauce
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp. dried dill
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
Salad
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tsp. salt
For Serving
  • Pita bread

Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken thighs and place in a bowl or a Ziploc bag
  2. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, lemon juice, black pepper, and minced garlic, Pour over the chicken and mix to combine. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 8 hours.
  3. When ready to cook the chicken, place it in a single layer in the air fryer (you'll have to work in batches) and cook at 400 degrees for 11-12 hours.
  4. If you don't have an air fryer, heat some olive oil in a large skillet. Work in batches to make sure you don't crowd the pan and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Discard the marinade.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce and simple salad. For the yogurt sauce, in a small bowl mix together the yogurt, mayo, salt, lemon juice, dill, and pepper. Set aside.
  6. For the salad combine the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and mix to combine.
  7. To assemble your bowls, add some chicken and salad. Top with feta cheese and yogurt sauce and serve with pita bread on the side.
  8. Enjoy!
