1. Do you heat the gyro bread? The gyro bread I purchased looks like thick pita bread. Please advise

1. Did not like this at all. Chicken was too lemony, and the sauce was too bitter.

2. I made it according to the recipe, except for the cucumber sauce. It was a little bland, so I added 1t garlic & 1/4t of salt. It was awesome! Thank you so much!! The bitterness that someone experienced may be from the cucumber itself being bitter. It's good to taste them before adding them to any recipe.

3. We were disappointed in this. The chicken was good, but we did not care for the sauce. This could be because we frequent the best greek place in the state and are used to their sauce. I'll keep the marinade recipe (the fresh lemon juice makes it!!), but I think I will look for another sauce.

4. I liked this recipe, I substituted the dry mustard for French's yellow mustard, added tb spoon of salt and paprika and let it marinade for 2 hours. It was delicious, I did not make the sauce because BJ's has a great Tsaiki sauce. I will definitely make this again, it was quick and easy.

5. I only tried the marinade as I have a tzatziki sauce i like already. I did cut down on the amount of lemon juice per other suggestions but I just did not like it. I had mine marinate for 3 hours and it did make a difference my flavoring each slice but it had a rather funny taste to it. I cannot put my finger on it but it was not very appetizing to make again but my sauce is so delish that we finished it off. sorry. i tried.

2. Bf and I loved this! I made mostly as written. I marinaded the chicken for about 3 hours instead of 1 and was forced to use FF sour cream instead of yogurt (I could have sworn I had yogurt in the fridge!). It was so good! The sour cream gave it a thicker consistency, and although I'm a fan of cucumber yogurt sauce, I really enjoyed it this way. We had it for lunch before we both had to work a late shift and it was just what we needed! Thanks for a real winner!

3. First attempt at homemade gyros. I doubled everything so that we could have leftovers and I'm so glad I did because we really enjoyed these. I only did a couple of things differently - I used approximately 1/8 tsp garlic powder in the sauce instead of using minced garlic because I was kind of afraid of having too much of a "raw garlic" taste in the sauce. Also didn't have ground mustard so cheated a little and added a squirt of prepared mustard. I omitted the red onion, but did serve with plenty of diced roma tomato. The marinated chicken had a really good flavor - even our 3 year old liked it and the accompanying sauce. I definitely agree with squeezing out as much liquid as possible from the cucumbers before adding to the yogurt; I used regular plain Dannon yogurt and the sauce stayed a decent consistency even the next day when we had leftovers...undrained it likely would have gotten runny. I lightly browned both sides of our pita flatbread until golden in a little bit of oil before assembling. This made it a little hard to fold, so next time I'll probably try using the pita pocket bread instead to help hold everything in. Thanks for posting. We'll be enjoying this one again in the future!!!

4. This were awesome and really easy to make! I marinated the chicken for just about an hour and that seemed to be enough time. I used parsley instead of dill, added some feta, and had alongside cous cous. So good!

5. We really liked this recipe. However, I think next time we will try lamb instead of chicken.
