Baked Sweet potatoes and Wings
There are days when I get intense cravings for “Outside food”, anything outside my regular diet combination. My first instinct is usually Pizza, then Chinese then burgers. These days I have developed a little phobia for outside food; I have been doing lots of research on restaurant and menu development, the more I know the less happy I am about eating out. Anyways, I wanted something different a few nights ago and I came up with this combination. Please let me know if you try it.
Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes ( washed and cut into wedges)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, thyme and chilli powder – to taste
Direction
Toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil, salt,thyme and chilli. set aside.
Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
- 12 pieces chicken wings
- Salt and pepper – to taste
- I tablespoon oil
- 1 teasp00n chili flakes (or minced fresh chili)
- Juice of one lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
Direction:
- preheat oven to 400f
- Combine chicken wings with salt, pepper and oil
- In a different bowl, combine chili flakes, honey and lime juice. Set aside
- Arrange chicken and potatoes on a foil covered oven tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove tray from oven.
- Gather chicken wings and toss with honey mixture, coat generously. Also, flip potato wedges
- Return chicken pieces back to the tray (add on any left over sauce from the bowl) .Set the tray back in the oven, bake for another 5 minutes.

Hi I stumbled on your website by happen chance and OMG you have turned me into a chef … for someone that abhors cooking
Awww.. that’s great Tricia

Can someone use the liquid lime juice?
Hi! I’ve tried a few recipes here and it’s been awesome! Thank you. For this sweet potato recipe, I don’t have the reddish/purple sweet potato but the kinda cream brownish ones sold in Naija. Do I prepare them with or without the skins? Is the taste the same?
Yes, you can use the regular sweet potatoes sold in Nigeria. make sure you scrub the skin thoroughly to remove dirt.
Good Job

This reminds me of my lunch, I was so tired after a busy morning so I baked sweet potatoes and boiled and baked some chicken :)
I do things like this all the time. No time for 30 minutes cooking. I’m just lazy.
lol
Yum!! you boil your chicken prior to baking? how come?
do we have to boil the wings?
No you dont, 35mins is enough cooking time for the chicken to cook through.
i am so trying this out…maybe with normal potatoes sha not really a fan of sweet potatoes

I was wondering if the wings will be cooked at the same time as the potatoes but thinking about it, I think it would.
yes it will, chicken wings are smaller and don’t require long cooking time.
I was wondering the same thing too
Yeah…the chicken will cook in time
