Your mediterranian heritage here again provides great recipes! You know, here in germany people go to greek restaurants where they don't even serve a slice of lemon with the souvlaki. So i really enjoyed the fresh things on your plate. Greetings from half greek Alex
Yesterday, after 14 hours hard working, I returned home and made this recipe. It was something made my body feel better after that hard working. Thank you 😊.
Good job Billy. Put it in pita bread w tzatziki, French fries cooked in olive oil, lettuce, feta, onion, tomatoe and wedge of lemon. French fries in the pita bread w these other ingredients is key
I am greek and I approve this message! That's exactly how I make my tzatziki. Fun fact, in Athens we usually combine pork souvlaki with tzatziki and chicken with a mayo-ketchup sauce.
Hello , please allow me to share my opinion, a small information about what you made and some tips in general . The souvlaki is traditionally made with pork (accompanied with bread ) not lamb, and the newest addition to that street food is chicken and beef ( accompanied with pita bread ) . We don't eat lamb in Greece more then 2 , maximum 4 times a year , depending some certain dishes and occasions and of course it also depends in which area in Greece you live . Even from ancient times it wasn't our meat of preference despite what people thinks . These animals are used for the production of cheeses and yogurt. Also inside the Tzatziki we put red vinegar not lemon and for the amount you made , a tea spoon should be right and of course as you mentioned correctly no herbs .As for the meat marinate and the herb of preference , greek oregano is enough ( Oregano is a Greek word , it means mountain-joy ) . Nice video my friend as always , stay safe , God bless .
Wow, Billy. This is amazing! Tonight my family had one of the best meals ever, for us it's top 5. I am not a trained cook but I do love cooking and I really appreciate your focus on technique and attention to detail. Adding salt to the cucumber and then squeezing out the remaining water to get better tzatziki or packing the Kebabs tightly so they are juicier.....so simple, so important. We made this recipe and the salad from your previous video...the dressing alone is worth trying that recipe. A few suggestions for anyone trying this for the first time with the tzatziki: I overdid it with the garlic and lemon so I am going to adjust it the next time and would recommend adding those slowly and to taste. If you are ever in the bay area, my family would love to take you to dinner.
I have been doing kebabs wrong for years. I usually leave a little space between the meats to make sure the meat cooks completely. My kebabs are usually dry. 😕 I going to try this recipe and hopefully have better results.
I've been making tzatziki (or as we call it in Cyprus - Tallattouri) for 40 years. No need to remove the seeds. No need to put in a colander either. Peel and grate the cucumber. Use yr hand to squeeze the water out. Add to yr yoghurt (I use strained) add 3 cloves. A drizzle of olive oil and stir. Put into the fridge so the garlic infuses. Some Greeks add dried mint. I don't because I think it spoils it. U're welcome 😊
4:30 super complicated recipe for using the cucumber seeds/innards: Slice a tomato, sprinkle the slices with some salt and pepper and top with the cucumber. :)
just made this and your pita bread recipe and WOW! one of the best meals i've had in a while, and it was so fun to make too :D my dad grilled everything after i prepared it, and my mom helped me with the bread. i was hoping to find a good recipe to replace the greek place near us (because it is soo expensive!) but this just tastes so much better too! it makes me wish i didn't get full so i could eat some more.. i feel like this is going to become a staple recipe with my family. i hope to have it with your spanakopita recipe next time! maybe next weekend i'll try to make some :] just wow.. such good food.
Hi Billy. If you use Persian cucumber you don't need to take the seeds out. In persian cuisine we have a similar side dish made with grated or finely diced cucumber, yogurt and dried mint. Try it you'll love it. This side dish is also enjoyed with straight vodka!
Billy's previous video is for a Greek salad and the dressing, alone, it worth trying it. We made this dish tonight with lemon rice, tzatziki and the salad. After we were done, I said the only thing missing is pita bread and I think he even has a recipe for that.
Who buys chicken breasts anymore? The “wooden” chicken breast has plagued the poultry industry for years. I gag just thinking about biting into that disgusting texture.

We gotta get you to a million subscribers, Chef! You're definitely one of my favorites!
It’s been a slow burn, hopefully one day I’ll get there.

I love serving these on pitas w some more red onion and tomatoes. And the homemade Tzatziki is key! Nice video chef

Greek culture is so easy to fall in love with. It’s charming, interesting, full of stories, full of joy
Excellent recipe! I'm going to prepare mine with chicken, beef and pork. Thanks for sharing !
Chef Parisi, throw those cucumber seeds to your backyard chickens! 😘

Hey Billy, really appreciate you. Do you have a note on how to do this in the oven? As in temp and time cooked? Thanks much.
I was going to ask the same question.

Being Greek, I've eaten Tzaziki all my life and it always had dill in it
Thx much for sharing this wonderful recipe. 🤩😋👌💫💫💫💫💫
just made this and your pita bread recipe and WOW! one of the best meals i've had in a while, and it was so fun to make too :D
my dad grilled everything after i prepared it, and my mom helped me with the bread. i was hoping to find a good recipe to replace the greek place near us (because it is soo expensive!) but this just tastes so much better too! it makes me wish i didn't get full so i could eat some more.. i feel like this is going to become a staple recipe with my family.
i hope to have it with your spanakopita recipe next time! maybe next weekend i'll try to make some :]
just wow.. such good food.
Great recipe!! Thanks
Looks great. Paprika for slight color and cumin would give a nice flavor. I also love dill in the Tzatziki sauce.

Brother, this was so damn good, both the chicken and the tzatziki… I can’t believe my hands made such great food. Thanks for your teachings!
This looks good. What alternatives can you recommend if I don’t have a grill?
I am cooking this tomorrow. Marinating chicken tonight!
Hello from Germany!! JUIICYY, will try this out!!
This is a great recipe
Soaking the skewers in white wine and rosemary works great too.
Sounds great!
Looks delicious, thank you ! : )
It,s perfect!
Mine are marinating as I type.
It's gonna be good.
Put some dill in it baby!😂Finally Tzatziki made the authentic way !
Looks delicious.
Thank you😊
What if i dont have a grill? Bake for how long?
I use turkey breast. Doesn't get dry. And no vinegar. Only Lemon juice. 👍👍👍🇩🇪
Alright bro, I am on my way over.
I have a blackstone type of grill, is the cooking for this recipe the same as on a regular grill?
Thanks!
1Tbs of your Yogurt, 8oz whole grape tomatoes, Cucumber seeds with pulp, toss S&P to taste.
Thanks for sharing that.
Will the lemon juice not cook the chicken if left to marinade overnight?
Cucumber seed use: Drain the juice using a fine mesh strainer. Use said juice to make Cucumber Crema.
You can also make a Cucumber Shrub for cocktails.
👍🏻👌
Are those grill grates your using on a traeger smoker?
Rince and dry seeds . Put in fridge until spring 🌱 then grow more food 😊
I am just one person can I cut this recipe in half. Thankyou
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 AMAZING ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
Delicious recipe chef!! I have a request….Can you make something with with chicken gizzards?
Anyone have a recipe suggestion for a side vegetables.
Greek salad:)
Billy's previous video is for a Greek salad and the dressing, alone, it worth trying it. We made this dish tonight with lemon rice, tzatziki and the salad. After we were done, I said the only thing missing is pita bread and I think he even has a recipe for that.
Lemon garlic Greek potatoes
it needs saffron to marinate in.
Check your biz email please....Thanks!
Real Greeks DO NOT add dill to Tzatziki man, this is sacrilege.
