Ingredients

Chicken

• 1 chicken
• olive oil
• salt and black pepper

Sweet Potatoes

• 500 gms. Sweet potatoes
• 2 tbsp. olive oil for frying

Method

• Set the oven at 225 degrees centigrade. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them in halves length way or sliced. Turn then in olive oil, salt, sugar, garlic and limejuice in an oven proof dish.
• Salt and pepper the whole chicken. Sauté in olive oil to give it the color. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof dish with the sweetpotatoes and roast until the juices run clear and the sweetpotatoes are soft but slightly al dente with an attractive color.
• Mix the yogurt with the cardamom, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture on the chicken; leave the chicken in the oven for 10 minutes more.
• Carefully cut away all the white from the lime peel. Shred the peel finely and blanch in boiling water for a half minute. Simmer the juice and the peel in a saucepan for a minute. Stir in the honey and simmer for about a minute until it thickens.



Pour the lime honey over the chicken and serve.




Bon Apetite.
