I drained the cucumber to remove excess liquid. I also like to drain yogurt through a cheesecloth overnight and you are left with a nice thick sauce.
I made this exactly as the recipe stated. (I only give ratings when I follow the recipe as stated.) This was good but the the Tzatziki was not as good as my regular (I always use fresh lemon juice). I would also add some chopped Tomato as a garnish. With those changes I would give it 5 stars.
Made this tonight and it was excellent. I didn't have fresh dill so I substituted dill weed and cut the measurement in half. It didn't seem to make any difference.
One of our favorites! We add French fries and eat it like an open-faced sandwich on pita bread.
While the tzatziki sauce was not quite what I am used to I still liked it. The chicken was terrific. Very moist and tender. My other half took a taste of tzatziki with his finger and said "not going to eat it" he does not like yogurt anyway or hummus or.... anyway he liked the chicken as well. My kittens each gave 2 paws up for the chicken.
This is a deeeeelicious!
