Equipment

  • Roaster with lid / Casserole dish with lid

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ± 800 Grams Skinless Chicken Drumsticks & Thighs (Bone-in) [8 pieces]
  • 2 Large Onions, chopped
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Teaspoons Cumin (Ground)
  • 1 Teaspoon Coriander (Milled)
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • Black Pepper (Freshly Ground)
  • 2 Apples, peeled, cored and diced
  • 800 Grams Sweet Potato, peeled & cut into medium-size chunks
  • 2 Tablespoons Chilli Jam / Brown Sugar
  • 1 Cup Chicken Stock
  • Fresh Coriander to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190°C
  • Heat oil in the oven roaster with lid. Add onions and garlic and sautè for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Add chicken pieces, cumin, coriander, cinnamon sticks, salt and freshly ground pepper to the pan and stir to make sure it is well blended. Allow to cook for 20 minutes. Stir halfway through the cooking time.
  • Add apples, sweet potato chunks, chicken stock and sweet chilli jam/ brown sugar and stir until well combined. Cook for 15 minutes, stir and cook for a further 15 minutes.
  • Turn oven to 220°C. Remove the lid from the oven roaster and allow it to brown for around 10 minutes. This will cause a wonderful caramelisation to take place in the dish and the sweet potato would have absorbed the liquid and softened to a degree leaving you with a wonderful hearty chicken & sweet potato stew.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander and serve! This delicious meal can be served alone or with rice/vegetables.
