Steps:

In a large bowl, combine marinade ingredients and stir well.
On a cutting board, place a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken thighs and pound until about ½ inch (1 cm) thick with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan.
In another large bowl or gallon plastic bag, combine chicken thighs and marinade, stirring well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to one day.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Shred the cucumber, be sure to squeeze out any excess liquid.
In a medium bowl, combine tzatziki ingredients and stir well. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
On a baking sheet or a large cast-iron skillet, use the onion half as a base and position the skewer vertically like a spit. Skewer the chicken thighs individually, rotating each one 90 degrees.
Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let cool for 10 minutes.
Carve off slices of chicken to fill a pita. Top with onion slices, tomato slices, and tzatziki sauce.
Enjoy!

Steps:

Place Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill weed, 2 cloves garlic, white vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth; set aside.
Whisk together 4 cloves minced garlic, juice of 1 lemon, red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Stir in chicken strips and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place chicken on a large baking sheet.
Broil the chicken in the preheated oven until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; place each pita bread into the skillet until warm and soft, about 2 minutes per pita.
Serve warmed pita bread topped with chicken strips, yogurt sauce, tomatoes, onion, and lettuce.

Begin by pounding each chicken thigh with the help of a meat mallet until 1/2" or 1 cm thick. You can put each chicken thigh inside a ziplock and pound it with the mallet. Repeat this step with all the chicken thighs. Set aside.
Add the paprika, coriander seeds, peppercorns, dried rosemary, dried red chili flakes & the coarse sea salt in a mortar & pestle. Grind it to a semi-coarse powder.
Take a large stump of an onion ( half onion) & stick a bamboo skewer in the middle of the stump to form a vertical pole. The vertical home-made rotisserie is ready. The base of the onion will act as the support & the bamboo skewer as the pole.
Take each marinated chicken thigh and skewer them individually in the home-made vertical rotisserie. Repeat this step until all the chicken thighs are skewered and stacked on top of each other to form a small mound of meat.
