Sunnys Double Decker Blackened Honey Chicken And Accordion Sweet Potatoes Recipes

ACCORDION POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Smash a clove of garlic and place it in a small saucepan with the butter. Melt over medium-low heat.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato about 1/8 inch apart, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Brush each potato generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, then take them out and re-brush with the remaining butter. Bake for another 15 minutes, then (using tongs because they will be hot) stuff the potatoes with the cheese in between the slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the potatoes and cook until the cheese has melted. Top with the sour cream, bacon and chives.

SUNNY'S DOUBLE-DECKER BLACKENED HONEY CHICKEN AND ACCORDION SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• For the chicken and rub: In a medium bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, white pepper, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
• In a large bowl, add the chicken and pour the butter over it, massaging the butter into the skin and the cavity of the chicken. Generously coat the chicken with the rub and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
• For the potatoes. Brush the bottom and sides of a large cast-iron pan with melted butter and set the remaining butter aside. Arrange the potato slices upright in a spiral around the pan (not flat like a gratin). Between every 8 to 10 slices, tuck in some garlic and randomly tuck in the red onion slices as well. Once done, brush the remaining butter over the entire dish and sprinkle with the red chile flakes and some salt. Cover tightly with aluminum foil or a lid.
• Preheat the grill until extremely hot.
• Put the chicken skin-side down on the grill over indirect heat. Immediately top the chicken with the cast-iron pan of potatoes and press down. Close the grill and cook the chicken and potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover the potatoes, move the pan off the chicken and place it over indirect heat. Flip the chicken so it's skin-side up, place back over indirect heat as well and cook until a meat thermometer registers around 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes more, drizzling the chicken with the honey about 5 minutes before it's done.
• Set the chicken aside and gently tent with aluminum foil. Poke the potatoes with a fork and, if not tender, cook 5 to 10 minutes more with the grill closed. When ready to serve, drizzle the crema over the potatoes and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the chicken cut into parts.

Remove skillet from heat, and remove chicken from skillet; drain fat. Add potatoes, carrots, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to skillet; stir to coat.
• In small bowl, mix honey and Sriracha. Set aside 2 tablespoons mixture. Add garlic to remaining honey mixture. Place chicken on top of vegetables, and brush tops with honey-garlic mixture.
• Place skillet in oven; roast 20 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F). Remove chicken; cover and keep warm. Stir vegetables. Place skillet back in oven 10 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and potatoes are lightly browned. Brush reserved 2 tablespoons honey-Sriracha mixture on chicken, and serve.

Arrange potatoes around outside of pan in an even layer, then turn cut side down (this will help them brown better). Arrange rosemary over potatoes. Roast until chicken and potatoes are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, 30-40 minutes.
