Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 chicken leg quarters
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
For the Fries
  • 3 large potatoes cut into fries
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • Salt and dried parsley for seasoning
For the Salad
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup garlic herb dip

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, black pepper, and salt. Generously coat both sides of the chicken with the spice mixture, massaging it into the skin.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F) and lightly oil the grates. Place chicken skin-side down and cook for 15 minutes without moving. Flip and cook the other side for 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Cut potatoes into even-sized fries and pat dry to remove excess starch. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add fries in batches and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and dried parsley while warm.
  4. Arrange lettuce on a plate as the base. Layer cucumber slices, tomato slices, and thinly sliced red onion on top.
  5. On a large plate, arrange the grilled chicken leg quarter as the centerpiece. Pile crispy fries alongside, garnished with dried parsley. Place the fresh salad on the other side. Add a small bowl of garlic herb dip for dipping.

Notes

For extra crispy fries, you can double-fry them by cooking them at a lower temperature first, then finishing at higher temperature. Make sure to pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning for better crust development. The salad components can be prepared ahead of time and stored separately to assemble just before serving.
