Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Fries
  • 2 chicken leg quarters
  • 4 large potatoes for fries
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped
For the Garlic Herb Dip
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or mayo
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl and mix well.
  2. Pat chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels. Rub lightly with olive oil, then coat both sides generously with the seasoning blend, pressing gently so the spices adhere.
  3. Cut potatoes into thick fries about 0.5 inches wide, leaving skins on. Toss with melted butter, half the garlic powder, half the paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Heat grill to medium-high heat and preheat for 10 minutes. Place chicken skin side down and grill for 12-15 minutes without moving. Flip and cook another 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  5. Spread seasoned fries on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy. Or grill in a grill basket alongside chicken, shaking every few minutes.
  6. Mix Greek yogurt or mayo with minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Arrange grilled chicken in the center of a serving plate with crispy fries alongside. Arrange fresh tomato slices and red onion rings on the plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with garlic herb dip.

Notes

For the best results, pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning to help develop the perfect crust. Don't overcrowd the grill so the chicken has room to char properly. The fries can be grilled in a grill basket if you prefer to cook everything on the grill at once. This meal tastes best served immediately while the fries are still crispy.
