Ingredients List
Important Notes
Draining yogurt for a full 1-2 hours is essential to get a thick, creamy, authentic Tzatziki sauce.
Always squeeze grated cucumber thoroughly to remove excess water, otherwise, it will make the Tzatziki watery.
Do not overcrowd the frying pan while cooking the chicken strips so they get a nice sear instead of steaming.
