Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces chicken leg quarters Organic or free-range chicken is preferable.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
For the Fries
  • 4 large potatoes, cut into fries Fluffy russet potatoes work best.
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Greek yogurt adds creaminess.
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 pieces tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 piece red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Optional for presentation.

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and parsley. Rub this blend over the chicken, ensuring it's coated evenly. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Fries
  1. Toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil and salt, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cook the Chicken and Fries
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the chicken and fries on a baking tray, ensuring they're spaced out. Cook the chicken for 40-45 minutes until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, while the fries need 30-35 minutes for crunch.
Make the Sauce
  1. Combine Greek yogurt, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Blend until smooth and let it chill for a few minutes.
Serve
  1. Arrange the grilled chicken, fries, sliced tomatoes, and red onions on a plate. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and top with fresh parsley.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze chicken and fries separately for up to 3 months.
