Instructions

Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
Prepare the Fries:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Assemble and Cook the Skewers:
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Finish the Fries:
Once fries are done, sprinkle with crumbled feta, parsley, and dill while still hot.
Serve:
Plate the skewers with a side of feta fries and serve with lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce, if desired.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
For extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before baking.
