Ingredients

  • 1 3 1/2- to 4- pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces (see note above)
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oven to 400° F.
  2. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Arrange the chicken, onion, and sweet potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drizzle the oil over the chicken and vegetables and season with the salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Drizzle with the maple syrup and top with the sprigs of thyme.
  3. Roast, stirring the vegetables once, until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • *Note: To cut down on cooking time and make my life easier, I used bone-in skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe. I roasted for about 40 minutes (until the skin was crisp and browned) then let it rest for 5 minutes.
