We study theoretically and experimentally a novel type of metamaterial with hybrid elements composed of twisted pairs of cross-shaped meta-atoms and their complements. We reveal that such two-layer metasurfaces demonstrate large, dispersionless optical activity at the transmission resonance accompanied by very low ellipticity. We develop a retrieval procedure to determine the effective material parameters for this structure, which has lower-order symmetry ($mathrm {C}_4$) than other commonly studied chiral structures. We verify our new theoretical approach by reproducing numerical and experimental scattering parameters.
