Steps:
- In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the marinade.
- Trim the chicken and place it in a zip-top bag. Carefully pour all of the marinade over the chicken. Close the bag tightly and use your hands to massage the chicken to spread the marinade all over the chicken pieces. Refrigerate for at least two hours and up to four hours.
- When ready to cook the chicken, remove from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for half an hour.
- Heat your grill to medium high. Place chicken pieces on the grill and cook the first side for about 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and cook on the other side for about 3 to 4 minutes (depending on the thickness). With an instant read thermometer, check the temperature - it should register 165° F. Remove the chicken from the grill and cover loosely with foil. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice over the chicken and serve wrapped in warm pita bread, with a good amount of ttzatziki, tomatoes, and sliced red onions.

CORIANDER AND CUMIN CHICKEN PITA WITH CUCUMBER SALAD AND WHITE SAUCE
As a native New Yorker, I grew up eating food from the halal carts that are on every corner in the city. This summery coriander and cumin chicken pita with cucumber salad is inspired by the flavors from these carts, using a few techniques that make it easy for an outdoor get-together. Everything can be prepared beforehand, with the marinated chicken, cucumber salad and white sauce coming together quickly the day of for a flavorful dish minus all the hassle.

Steps:
- For the chicken pita: Combine the oil, cumin, oregano, coriander, cayenne, ginger, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the chicken thighs and rub with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and ideally 24 hours.

Slice the chicken about 1/2 inch thick.
- Toast the pita on the grill for about 1 minute per side and assemble the pita with the chicken, cucumber salad and white sauce on top.
