Instructions

Marinate the chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours in the fridge).

2. Cook the fries:
Bake or air fry the fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Once done, transfer to a large bowl or baking tray. Sprinkle with crumbled feta, oregano, and parsley.

3. Grill the skewers:
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.

4. Assemble and serve:
Serve chicken skewers hot alongside feta fries. Add optional sides like tzatziki, pita bread, and fresh veggies. Squeeze lemon over everything before eating!

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Make it spicy by adding a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
Use sweet potato fries for a twist!
