Notes about this recipe

I took some advice from these comments: I cut the thighs into smaller chunks and let sit in the marinade overnight, chicken was so flavorful! Next time I will also add some lemon halves to the pan and broil those as well. I will also add some fresh shopped cucumber to the tomatoes. We will probably just use tortillas and enjoy as Greek Tacos in the future.

Marinaded 8 hours and cooked on gas grill.

Chicken came out a little bland, maybe I missed a step with salt? 12 min under my broiler was not enough time to get a good char on the chicken pieces. Would try this one again with some adjustments.

Love this one. Cut the chicken thighs in to smaller pieces and then marinaded. Broiled up some pita pockets too and made pita sammies, which the kids liked. To do this, I diced the tomatoes instead of wedged them. Good lemon-y/garlic base marinade that could be used for a lot of things, and I really like this version of tzatziki. Next time, I may dice up some Kalamata olives and throw in the mix when I add the tomatoes. EDIT: Made again and added the Kalamata olives. Amazing.

We enjoyed this chicken with torn flatbread, a different tzatziki, chopped lettuce, feta, tomatoes & pickled onions. Broiling the thighs worked well & we liked the hit of fresh oregano. A heavier hand with lemon & garlic and/or adding something like za'atar (which was on our flatbreads) would easily up the flavour but we were pretty happy eating them with everything else in our bowls.

Yummy easy dinner! Best part was tzatziki.

I also skewered them with green and red peppers and used outdoor gas grill. The chicken was good but without this tzatziki which I really liked along with homemade pitas, the chicken taste by itself was rather uninteresting.

These were quite easy and quick to pull together. I used the grill and decided to skewer them. Only took a couple minutes longer. Very flavorful, tender and juicy and the tzatziki is delicious!

I will be making again; I doubled the onions because I love them, otherwise made as-is. Served with rice and beans.

This was delicious. I used oregano from my window herb garden. The tomato cut in wedges was from my Tumbling Shoals farm share. Made half recipe for son and I, hubby doesn't eat chicken.

Very easy to make without taking too much of your time. I cut the chicken into smaller than recommended pieces but it actually took longer under the broiler than book says. The tzatziki sauce was excellent!

This was a fine weeknight supper -- though I feel like there are some similar Diana Henry marinated/grilled chicken thigh recipes I like better. Used the grill instead of the broiler, since it was nice out, and made a tomato/sweet onion salad rather than grilling the onions. Added mint to the tzatziki, which we liked. Recommend harissa or another hot sauce for drizzling on top.
