Ingredients
- 4 lbs skinless boneless chicken thighs pounded to 1/4" thickness (about 15 thighs)

Directions
1. After pounding your chicken thighs salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
2. In a glass bowl mix together the remaining ingredients.
3. Mix thighs into mixture and marinate in refrigerator for 1-8 hours.
4. Cut onion in half and place, cut side down so it is stable, on top of pan lined with parchment paper.
5. Stick a skewer in the middle of each onion half. Pile chicken over onion halves piercing through the center with skewer. Place around 5 thighs on each onion.
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 1/2 hours until done.
7. Let cool slightly and then use a sharp knife to cut each of the chicken "balls" into thin slices, gyro style.
8. Serve with tzaziki sauce (I use pre-made), baked potato and Greek Salad.
