Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C. Lightly oil a baking tin.
Prepare vegetables: Peel, wash, and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut them into cubes, about ½ inch/ 1 cm. Place in the baking tin, pour 1 tablespoon oil on top, sprinkle well with paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and some pepper, and rub with the hands to coat all over. Bake for 10 minutes.2 sweet potatoes + 1 tablespoon from 2 tablespoons oil + 1 teaspoon sweet paprika + ½ salt + ground black pepper
Prepare chicken: In the meantime, place the chicken legs in a bowl and rub them well with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and the curry powder, and rub well to coat all over. Arrange the drumsticks between the sweet potatoes in the roasting tin. Top each leg with a small amount of butter.6 chicken drumsticks + 1 tablespoon oil + ½ teaspoon salt + 1 tablespoon curry powder + ½ tablespoon butter
Bake the drumsticks for about 35-40 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F/ 74°C and the potatoes are soft. Check with a meat thermometer.
Serve: Squeeze some lime juice on top when serving.1 lime

Notes

Chicken thighs or a mixture of thighs and drumsticks is fine as well.
Potatoes: You can leave out the sweet potatoes and only cook chicken. Or you can replace the sweet potatoes with regular potatoes or other vegetables.
Use your favorite curry powder, and make sure you know how hot it is. Our standard mixture is a medium-hot, yellow curry powder, spicy but not overwhelmingly so.
