In a bowl, combine olive oil, shallot, garlic, oregano, honey, chipotle chili powder, lemon zest, harissa sauce, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to get more flavor if you've got time.

In another bowl, mix the potato matchsticks with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Spread them evenly on a different sheet pan.

Roast the fries for 15–20 minutes. Turn them over and keep baking for another 15 minutes until they’re nice and crispy.

In a mixing bowl, mix chopped herbs, lemon zest, grated garlic, sesame seeds, and crumbled feta. Once the fries are ready, toss them in the bowl with the feta mix and season with salt.

Serve the chicken skewers and feta fries hot with Tzatziki sauce and garlic tahini on the side.
