Grilled Chicken Dogs With Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

GRILLED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
• In a large pot, add the sweet potatoes and cover with cold salted water. Bring them to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until you can pierce each potato with a paring knife and there is little to no resistance, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl of cold water to halt their cooking process. Once the potatoes are cool, drain well. Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into thick wedges, about 6 wedges per potato. Put the potatoes into a large bowl and coat them with olive oil. Add the brown sugar, cayenne, salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves and toss to evenly coat. Put the wedges on the preheated grill. Cook until they are heated through and caramelized, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve them as they are, or with a side of mint and cumin aioli, if desired.

LEMON CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Mix Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, juice, oil, sugar and shallots until blended. Reserve 1/4 cup for later use; pour remaining over chicken in shallow dish. Turn to evenly coat both sides of each chicken breast. Refrigerate I hour to marinate, turning chicken occasionally.
• Heat grill to medium heat and heat oven to 400ºF. Bake fries in oven as directed on package. Meanwhile, remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165ºF), brushing frequently with the reserved Worcestershire sauce mixture for the first 5 min. of the grilling time.
• Serve chicken with the fries.

CAJUN CHICKEN FINGERS AND SWEET-POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to high heat and the oven to 450°F
• Toss the sweet-potato sticks in 1 tsp of the olive oil and 1/2 tsp of Cajun seasoning.
• Place them in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet so they don't touch each other. Bake the fries for 10 minutes, flip them over, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until they're tender and starting to brown. Meanwhile, toss the chicken in the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. About 5 minutes before the fries are done, grill the chicken for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the strips are no longer pink inside.
• Serve immediately with ketchup and Creole mustard, if desired.
