Instructions

1

Prepare the Herbed Yogurt Sauce

Mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Refrigerate until needed.

Chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Ingredients needed for this step

Greek yogurt cucumber garlic dill salt black pepper
2

Marinate the Chicken

Combine olive oil, oregano, paprika, cumin, and lemon juice in a bowl. Add the chicken and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in cold water for 15 minutes, then pat dry.

Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.

4

Fry the Potatoes

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the potatoes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent soggy fries.
