With a few simple tips and tricks, you can create a mouthwatering meal that’s not only delicious but also a bit healthier. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to prepare oven-baked French fries and chicken that will leave your taste buds dancing.

Ingredients:

  • slide potatoes
  •  tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  •  Paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  •  Chicken Wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving that crispy exterior on both the French fries and the chicken

2. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips. Soak the fries in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up during baking. After soaking, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

3. Bake the French Fries: Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

4. Prepare the Chicken wings: While the fries are baking, prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken evenly with this flavorful mixture.
5. Bake the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a separate baking sheet. Bake in the same preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
6.Serve and Enjoy: Once both the fries and chicken are done, serve them hot together. You can add your favorite dipping sauces for the fries and pair the meal with a side of fresh salad or vegetables
