Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
For the Fries
- 4-5 large red skinned potatoes cut into wedges
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic finely minced
- 3 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh oregano
- ½ cup crumbled feta
- ½ cup homemade Tzatziki
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
For the Chicken
- 2 lemons juiced
- ½ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic peeled, smashed, and minced
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
Instructions
For the Chicken
- In a large zip-top bag, combine the lemon juice, ½ cup olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Add the chicken, zip the top of the bag and give it a quick shake to combine. Refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
- Preheat a cast iron to medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each chicken thigh for 4-5 minutes on each side until done. Remove and set aside to rest.
- Slice the chicken against the grain into thin strips and transfer back into the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until just slightly crispy around the edges.
For the Fries
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Place the potato wedges, 3 tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper in a zip top bag and shake to combine. Transfer the potatoes to a sil-pat lined baking sheet and evenly spread out the wedges. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping once, until evenly baked and golden brown.
- Whisk remaining olive oil, chopped garlic, parsley and oregano in a large bowl. Add the mixture to the hot fries and toss to combine. Taste and season with extra salt and pepper as needed. Arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with chicken, feta and dollops of tzatziki and serve alongside lemon wedges. Adjust salt as needed.
Notes
- Not only is this meal delicious, it makes a beautiful sharing platter on your table!
- Definitely use chicken thighs here so your meat doesn't dry out.
