Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 3 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 lime (zested and juiced)
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 0.75 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the mahogany glaze.

Step 3

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and place them in a baking dish. Brush the glaze generously over the chicken, ensuring all sides are coated. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the sweet potatoes.

Step 4

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime zest, and half of the lime juice. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through. Simultaneously, roast the sweet potatoes on a separate rack for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

While the chicken and sweet potatoes cook, prepare the chimichurri. Finely chop the parsley and cilantro, and combine them in a bowl with red wine vinegar, red chili flakes, sea salt, black pepper, and the remaining lime juice. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while stirring until well combined. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to adjust the consistency, if needed.

Step 7

When the chicken is fully cooked and has a dark, glossy crust, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the mahogany chicken alongside the smoky lime sweet potatoes, and drizzle chimichurri over the chicken or serve it on the side.
