HOMEMADE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch on the skin. Brush canola oil all over the potato skins, outside and inside, and sprinkle with salt. Reserve flesh for another use.
• Bake skins in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and continue to bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Arrange the potato skins flesh-side up on a roasting pan or rack. Sprinkle the insides with pepper, Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Add a dollop of sour cream to each skin and sprinkle with green onions.

CHARRED CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND ORANGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place chicken in a large bowl and season with salt. Add garlic, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp. oil and toss to combine. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes or cover and chill up to 12 hours. Remove chicken from marinade, draining off any excess; discard marinade. Set chicken aside.
• Prick sweet potato all over with a fork and roast on a small foil-lined rimmed baking sheet until tender, about 1 hour. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Once potato comes out of the oven, start cooking the chicken. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Cook chicken, skin side down, until skin is very brown (it should get very dark; as long as you don't smell it outright burning it will be all the better with some char), about 5 minutes. Transfer to oven and roast, keeping skin side down, until cooked through, 18-22 minutes. About 1 minute before removing chicken from oven, toss rosemary sprigs into skillet. Place chicken, skin side up, on a plate along with rosemary sprigs. Set skillet over medium-high. Cook orange slices just until golden and slightly softened, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to plate with chicken.
• Toss chickpeas, olives, and feta with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a large bowl; season chickpea salad with salt.
• Tear open sweet potato and arrange big sections of flesh on a large platter. Place chicken, along with any accumulated juices, around sweet potato, then top with orange slices, chickpea salad, and rosemary leaves. Squeeze orange wedges over everything when at the table.
