Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces chicken leg quarters Look for chicken that has a bright pink color and is firm to the touch.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • to taste salt
  • 2 tbsp butter Melted, for brushing during grilling.
For the Fries
  • 4 large potatoes Fresh with minimal blemishes for optimal frying.
For the Dip
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayo For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free yogurt.
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • to taste salt & pepper Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rub the chicken leg quarters with olive oil and the spice blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated.
  2. Cut the potatoes into thick fries and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch before cooking.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to 400°F (200°C) and cook the marinated chicken for 35-40 minutes, brushing melted butter on the chicken halfway through cooking.
  2. Fry or bake the cut potatoes until they are golden and crispy, ensuring the fries sizzle when placed in hot oil.
Making the Dip
  1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and adjust seasonings to taste.
Serving
  1. Arrange the grilled chicken, crispy fries, fresh tomato slices, and red onion on a plate. Garnish with parsley and serve the dip on the side.

Notes

For a lighter version, grill zucchini and bell peppers alongside the chicken. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
