Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the chicken legs in a roasting tin and squeeze over the lemon juice. Cut the squeezed lemons into wedges, then add to the tin with the oregano, the oil and some seasoning. Toss everything together, then roast for 40-45 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp and golden.
  2. Toss the spinach, onion, salad cheese and tomatoes in a bowl. Spoon 2 tbsp of the lemony juices from the chicken tin into the salad bowl and toss through. Stuff the toasted pittas with the salad; serve with the chicken and a spoonful of tzatziki.
