  2. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and chop sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes and season with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread marinated chicken thighs on one side of the baking sheet and add seasoned sweet potato cubes on the other side.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway and basting chicken with remaining marinade.
