Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425.

Pour the olive oil in a roasting pan or dutch oven and rub the chicken in the oil on each side. Season the chicken generously with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle it on from at least a foot or two above, this will disperse the seasonings more evenly.

Arrange the whole sweet potatoes and onions around the chicken. Pour the white wine over them. Roast for 30 minutes. Check with a thermometer in the base of the leg & thigh. Also, check in a thick part of the breast. Continue to roast, checking the temperature every 5-10 minutes until the lowest temperature is 160.

If the sweet potatoes and onions could bake a bit longer, than remove the chicken from the pan. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes in the sauce & juices. Return the casserole to the oven and roast while the chicken rests for about 10 minutes.

Cut the chicken through the joints and serve pieces with the sweet potatoes and onions. Drizzle some of the pan juices on top of everything as well for a bit extra flavor.
