EZCR#83 - HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES

I had some leftover orange sweet potatoes in my kitchen and this recipe in hand.  I remembered, someone did mention that sweet potatoes have anti-cancer properties and high is fibre.  With such good properties of sweet potatoes, why not add them into a fried chicken dish?

The original recipe uses 6 pieces chicken wings but I replaced it with deboned chicken whole leg.

The fried chicken is crispy, tender and succulent while the sweet potatoes are tender and sweet with crispy edges.  Overall, it is a delicious and tasty dish with seasoning sauce.
