For the marinate, mix the sriracha sauce, sesame oil, light soy sauce, honey, rice/white vinegar together in a small bowl. I like to use light soy sauce as it less salt but use regular if you prefer, you might want to start with 1 tablespoon first. Also, this is a fairly spicy sauce but the honey and vinegar balance this out so shouldn't be unbearable. Just add smaller quantities at a time to the bowl and taste as you go along. Cooking can be customised so never be afraid to increase or reduce things to your liking. Grate in ginger and garlic and stir into the sauce.

Prep your chicken by scoring the skin, lightly seasoning with black and/or cayenne pepper powder and salt. Next pour over the marinade and rub into the chicken, ideally leaving to sit in the fridge for a few hours/ days. Let it sit to marinate whilst you do the next step.

Next wash and chop the vegetables, carrots into round chucks of about 2 inches and slice the spring onions. If using any other veg, do the prep now too. Bring the chicken out and place in an over tray scattering the vegetables in the pan. Place the tray in an oven as 200c (fan) and set a timer for 20mins.

Peel your sweet potatoes and slice into wedges or place pre-cut chips on an oven tray. Skin on fries also is great, you get all the nutritional benefits and avoid the painful peeling process. Just make sure to wash your potatoes properly, I usually do this is salty water and rubbing on the skin. Once the chicken has been in the oven for about 20 mins add the sweet potato fries (wedges) on a separate tray under the chicken to cook for about 17 - 20mins (according to the package instructions). Otherwise, you can air fry or deep fry if you prefer. Just leave enough time for the oil (roughly 2 inches deep) to heat up and fry each batch for 7 - 15mins before the chicken is ready! Air fry at 180 degrees.

The chicken is ready when the juices run clear (73 degrees c) and the wedges are a darker orange. Optional for the fries you can season the with potatoes salt, black pepper if you are peeling yours. Either way you have a meal on a plate with minimal effort!

Serve a piece of chicken or 2 with sweet potatoes and salad - voila!

Hope you try this out, let me know in the comments if you do and if you made amendment s based on your preferences.
