Cook the Fries
  1. Cut potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Fry in hot oil or bake at 425°F until golden.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat your grill or oven. Grill chicken for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the marinade. Soak fries in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking for extra crispiness.
