How to Make Oven Chicken Skewers and Feta Fries

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, shallots, garlic, oregano, chili powder, honey, harissa, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Let sit for 10 minutes if time allows.
2. Preheat & Bake: Heat oven to 450°F (230°C). Thread chicken onto skewers, lay on a baking sheet, and roast for 20–25 minutes until cooked and lightly charred.
3. Prep the Fries: Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flip, and bake another 15 minutes until crisp.
4. Toss the Feta Topping: In a bowl, mix herbs, lemon zest, garlic, sesame seeds, and crumbled feta. Once fries are baked, toss with this mixture on the sheet pan. Season with salt.
5. Serve Everything Hot: Plate the chicken skewers with tzatziki and garlic tahini. Serve feta fries on the side and enjoy this bold, oven-roasted feast.

Tips for the Best Mediterranean Dinner

• Soak wooden skewers in water if using to prevent burning.
• Want extra crispy fries? Space them out well and don’t crowd the pan.
• For garlic tahini: whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic, water, and salt until creamy.
• Add a squeeze of lemon over everything before serving for a bright finish.

A Dinner That Started a Weekly Tradition

This recipe came to life during a family night when the grill was out of commission. We were craving something Mediterranean and satisfying, and these oven chicken skewers did not disappoint. The feta fries were a last-minute genius idea—and now they’re non-negotiable. It’s become our favorite way to bring a little sunshine to the dinner table, rain or shine.

What to Serve With It

This hearty meal can be paired with a simple cucumber salad, olives, or warm pita bread to round things out. A chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water with mint and lemon makes it extra refreshing.

How to Store Leftovers

Store the chicken, sauces, and fries separately in airtight containers. Chicken and fries can be reheated in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes. Tzatziki and tahini will be kept in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
