Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken chunks with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Skewers
  1. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
  2. In the last few minutes, brush them with honey and BBQ sauce for a sticky finish.
Cook the Rice & Fries
  1. In a saucepan, bring water with 1/4 tsp salt to a boil. Add the rice and simmer until fluffy.
  2. For the fries, toss with vegetable oil and salt, then bake or air-fry at 425°F until golden.
Prepare the Fresh Salad
  1. Layer fresh romaine lettuce, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes in a bowl.
Assemble & Serve
  1. In a large bowl, layer rice, fries, salad, and chicken skewers. Serve with condiments on the side.
