Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 whole chicken leg quarters
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
For the Plate
  • 3 cups French fries
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup creamy herb garlic sauce
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and dried parsley in a small bowl. Mix until well combined and let sit for a minute to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Pat the chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture all over both sides of the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin. Let the chicken sit with the rub for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Heat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates. Place chicken skin-side down and cook for 15 minutes without moving. Flip and cook for another 12 to 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is golden brown.
  4. Cook French fries according to package directions, or bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy. Toss with fresh parsley once done.
  5. Slice tomatoes into thick rounds and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside for plating.
  6. Arrange the grilled chicken in the center of a plate, pile fries beside it, and arrange tomato and onion slices around the plate. Place a small ramekin of creamy herb garlic sauce on the side and sprinkle fresh parsley over everything.

Notes

Pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning for crispier skin. Don't skip letting the herb rub sit on the chicken for at least 10 minutes before grilling, as this helps the flavors penetrate the meat. If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken in a 400°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes instead.
