Oven Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 6 whole chicken legs approximately 6 pounds
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon of chili powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon  powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon of coriander powder
  • 1teaspoon of  black ground paper
  • 1 pinch of clove powder
  • 1/2 a lemon or two tablespoons of lemon juice 
  • 2 tablespoons of white vinegar
  • 2 to 3 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 whole garlic cut in half from the middle

Directions:

Take the skin off of the whole legs. And make a cut on each thigh.

Put all the spices, lemon juice, and vinegar together and massage all the chicken legs let it marinate for 4 hours or more.

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1 inch thick round or long pieces. Place all the pieces in the baking dish as shown in the picture and place the garlic as shown as well, drizzle olive oil on it.

Place all the chicken in baking dish.

Cover the tray completely with foil paper and place in the oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

Then loosen the foil from two sides so water from the chicken starts evaporating. Cook for 30 minutes more or until all the water disappears. If after 1/2 hour that water is still there and chicken is cooked well, then pour out the water in a saucepan and dry it on top of the stove, and pour that thick gravy type water on top of the chicken before serving. Squeeze out the garlic, it has a very creamy taste served with chicken and sweet potatoes, Enjoy with some salad.
