      This recipe is a hit 100% of the time. My mother-in-law loves Greek food and a few years back we were trying to come up with a dish for her 65th birthday dinner and i came across this recipe. We had about 35 people over and it was a hit across the board! Still get requests when people visit. We cook ours on the pellet smoker is the only change I've made, and the added smokiness is excellent.

      OMG! I have been a member of Pinterest since the very beginning, yet I've never felt compelled to rate a recipe I've made. I've been looking for a great tasting Greek marinade for years & have never found one....until I tried this recipe! It is delicious & I plan on using it on ribs, chicken, pork tenderloin, on EVERYTHING! I wish I could attach how marvelous my house smells after baking this recipe. I made them in my air fryer & they came out exactly like your photo - which is definitely a first for me! This recipe is going straight into my Top 10 Pinterest Recipes folder! hank you for sharing this!

      I made these yesterday. Marinated a 5 lb slab (cut in half) overnight. Then smoked them in my Big Green Egg at 200-225 degrees for 5 hours. 2 hours unwrapped, 2 hours wrapped in foil, 1 hour unwrapped to finish.

      The outcome was fantastic and a great new way to do ribs, Greek style! Thank you so much for the recipe.

      This is the BEST recipe in my collection! I use it for ribs, but I love it for chicken… I simply substitute the ribs with chicken and roast potato cubes to go with any extra sauce, as I usually double the recipe so I have more left over! Thank you and YUM!

      Delicious. I made these last night 😋
      How would you suggest cooking them in an Air Fryer? Would you do the same temperatures & times?

        Hi Alma, I just recently purchased an airfryer, this recipe is one of the first on my list to try, so I will get back to you.
