Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless and skinless chicken thighs, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
- Vegetable oil for frying or 2 tablespoons if baking
- 1 cup creamy garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for baking fries or heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for frying.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or heat frying oil. Arrange fries evenly without overcrowding.
- Cook fries for 25 to 30 minutes in the oven or 5 to 7 minutes if frying until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, cook marinated chicken in a hot skillet for 6 to 8 minutes until fully cooked and lightly charred.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Layer fries on a serving platter, top with cooked chicken, drizzle with garlic sauce, and sprinkle chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking for extra crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken to maintain proper browning.
- Season fries immediately after cooking for best flavor.
