📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for perfectly crispy fries and juicy chicken. Don't skip this step!
2. Wash and peel your sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs). Cut them into even-sized fries – aim for about 1/2 inch thick. Uniform size means uniform cooking!
3. Toss the sweet potato fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
4. Pat your chicken (about 3 lbs) dry with paper towels. This helps the skin get super crispy! Season generously with salt, pepper, and about 2 tablespoons of peri-peri sauce. Rub it all over, getting under the skin as well, for maximum flavor infusion.
5. Place the seasoned chicken in the roasting pan. Arrange the sweet potato fries around the chicken. Drizzle the remaining peri-peri sauce over everything for an extra kick!
6. Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the fries are tender and slightly crispy. You might need to flip the fries halfway through to ensure even browning.
7. Once cooked, remove the chicken and fries from the oven. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making it even more tender. So important!
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Peri-Peri Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries! Pair with a simple side salad for a complete meal. Seriously, it's so yummy!
