Roast 1
Preheat oven to 220°C. Arrange chicken skin-side up on a small roasting tray. Roast 20 minutes at 220°C until skin begins to colour. Reduce heat to 190°C and roast 20–25 minutes until skin is deeply golden and juices run clear. Rest 10 minutes, then carve into strips.

Warm 4 pita breads in the oven at 180°C for 2–3 minutes until soft and pliable. Spread tzatziki over each pita, pile carved chicken strips on top, finish with tomato and red onion slices.
