INGREDIENTS
1 small skinless, boneless chicken thigh (100g)
1 medium sweet potato (114g)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp KFC-inspired spice mix
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil (reserve 1 tbsp for potatoes), minced garlic, KFC-inspired spice mix, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thigh in the marinade, making sure it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
While the chicken marinates, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cube or slice the sweet potato into even pieces, then toss with the reserved olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread the sweet potato pieces on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
Grill the marinated chicken thigh for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is nicely charred.
Plate the grilled chicken thigh alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and serve immediately.
