Ingredients

For the Chicken Skewers

2 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks Look for plump pieces with a uniform color for quality.
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup BBQ sauce Consider using a gourmet BBQ sauce for better flavor.
2 tbsp honey

For the Rice and Fries

1 cup white rice Can substitute with quinoa for a gluten-free option.
2 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
4 large potatoes, cut into thick fries Soaking them in water improves their crispiness.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt

For the Fresh Salad

2 cups romaine lettuce
1 cucumber sliced
6 pieces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tbsp finely diced red onion

For Serving

Ketchup
Garlic herb mayo sauce

Method

Marinate the Chicken

Toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

Prepare and Grill the Skewers

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers and grill them over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely charred.

Cook the Rice and Fries

While the chicken is grilling, simmer the rice in salted water until fluffy, about 15 minutes. Mix with parsley and diced red onion.
Bake or air-fry the fries at 425°F until golden and crispy.

Prepare the Fresh Salad

In a bowl, arrange the romaine lettuce, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes.

Assemble and Serve

In a large bowl, place rice on one side, add crispy fries, fresh salad, and honey BBQ chicken skewers in the center. Enhance with ketchup and garlic herb mayo.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. For freezing, place components in separate bags for up to 3 months. Reheat using an oven or air fryer to keep fries crispy.
