This recipe is awesome! I was able to feed 4 - 6 people easily! The only words of advice I have are to cut up the sweet potatoes a little bit smaller. They are great pairing with the chicken and give it a to die for flavour!

Everyone loved this very flavourful dinner. So simple to make. Took the advice of others and made extra sauce.

The chicken was very moist and I liked the way it changed the flavor of the sweet potatoes but you need the add some more spice or flavoring for the chicken. Even some salt and pepper may have helped. Very easy to make and it was good!I will make again.

Delicious! A new family favourite. My husband was going back for sauce (something he NEVER does). I also doubled the sauce as recommened and I just used 4 chicken legs. Yum!

One of the most delicious, fast and easy to make recipes I have ever made. I used a whole chicken cut it up into 8 peices and doubled the sauce recipe. Worked great. Had it for left overs the next night and tasted just as good warmed up in the microwave.

I had a chicken and a bunch of sweet potatoes and this recipe popped up in my in box. It was wonderful. It was even better the next day. I served over rice and next will make double sauce as it was so good.

I have a household of picky eaters and was worried this wouldn't go over with them.I used the sweet potatoes but used skinless boneless chicken breast. They Loved it!!! The only complaint at our table tonight was that there wasn't enough sauce, so I will double that for next time :)thanks for the recipe

This is a family favourite. We didn't use the sweet potatoes as we aren't big fans. Did try it with potatoes and though it tasted good it took forever to cook for some reason. I'm making this tonight and doubling the sauce so we have some for dipping.

Very tasty! I made it with a mixture of thighs, drumsticks, and breasts. Next time I would do drumsticks and thighs, omit the breasts, as they cooked faster and were a little drier as a result. Drizzle the sauce over chicken pieces upon serving. Yum!

Delicious....I would only bake for 45-50 mins tops though...I found 1 hr to dry the chicken out a bit. Everyone loved it!
