This vibrant charred chicken with sweet potatoes and oranges is a fantastic example of balanced nutrition that doesn't compromise on bold flavours. The dish combines the smoky depth of well-seared chicken skin with the natural sweetness of roasted root vegetables and caramelised citrus. It is a hearty, wholesome meal that feels both rustic and sophisticated, making it ideal for a nutritious mid-week supper or a relaxed weekend lunch with friends.
Packed with protein and fibre, this recipe features a bright chickpea and feta salad that cuts through the richness of the chicken. The addition of briny olives and fragrant rosemary provides a lovely Mediterranean feel, while the pops of citrus from the blood orange bring a fresh, zesty finish. It is an easy-to-assemble platter that looks beautiful when served at the centre of the table.

4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Sale kosher
4 spicchi d'aglio, finemente grattugiati
45ml fresh lemon juice, divided
80ml olio d'oliva, diviso
1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
3 large sprigs rosemary
1 blood orange, thinly sliced, plus wedges for squeezing

How to make Charred Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Oranges
Torna ai contenutiPreheat oven to 232°C. Place chicken in a large bowl and season with salt. Add garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons 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 tablespoon 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 tablespoons oil and remaining 1 tablespoon 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.
