I’ve been excited to share this recipe all month lengthy. I needed to attend till the week earlier than Mom’s Day as a result of these Greek-inspired hen skewers are excellent for grilling up this weekend to have a good time Mother!

That is the time of 12 months once I begin making numerous Mexican and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. The Tzatziki sauce comes out often, and I even start to make use of the grill—or my grill pan, on the very least!

I needed to share a Greek grilled hen served with loads of Tzatziki sauce, which all of us love. I used to be attempting to consider one thing new and completely different, after which it hit me {that a} Greek hen skewer might be so scrumptious, particularly with Tzatziki and a few garlicky tahini too.

However then, I wanted so as to add a aspect – feta fries, after all!

OK, these are the main points

Step 1: marinate the hen

It is a combine of additional virgin olive oil, shallots, garlic, dried oregano, chipotle chili powder, honey, lemon, and harissa sauce. Combine all of it in a bowl and add the hen.

At this level, and if time permits, you’ll be able to refrigerate the hen for a day or two earlier than grilling. The longer it sits, the extra intense its taste will turn into.

Step 2: thread the hen onto the skewers

Now, the enjoyable half. Take the seasoned hen and thread each bit one after one other onto steel or wood skewers.

Warmth your grill and cook dinner every skewer till mild grill marks seem. Nothing too fancy!

Step 3: make the fries

Whereas the skewers are cooking, bake the feta fries. All I do for my fries is lower russet potatoes into matchstick-size items, then toss with olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne, and sea salt.

Then bake them up till crispy.

Step 4: the herbs/garlic/feta

Whereas the fries are cooking, combine an enormous handful of contemporary herbs. I take advantage of dill and basil, with lemon zest and grated garlic. Combine in sesame seeds and crumbled feta cheese.

As quickly because the fries are achieved cooking, toss them whereas sizzling with the herby feta cheese combine.

Step 5: for serving

By now, the hen skewers must be cooked.

Serve the skewers topped with Tzatziki sauce and garlicky tahini sauce (you need to use one thing from the shop or my do-it-yourself recipe, which is within the notes part).

Then there are the feta fries on the aspect. I like the fries with ketchup and tahini for a double dip—SO YUMMY!

The leftovers are excellent for the subsequent day’s lunch! The sauce will final all week and can be utilized in a number of recipes.
