We proudly present Orange Glazed Chicken and Sweet Potatoes from our Autumn Grilling Series. This hearty dish is infused with a sweet and citrusy taste that will surely capture your heart and taste buds this fall season.

The glaze, made from orange juice, maple syrup, rosemary, salt, and pepper, is simple yet incredibly satisfying for the sweet tooth. This recipe calls for chicken leg and thigh quarters for the juiciest and most natural flavor, but white meat can also be used. For an extra depth of flavor, let the glaze marinate overnight for a fantastic treat.

The effects of this dish are enhanced even more when the chicken and potatoes are grilled over an open flame. The sugars in the marinade and sweet potatoes will caramelize into the perfect autumn blend of flavor.
