Ingredients:
(2) Chicken Breasts - bone in with wing attached
Dry Rub
(2) Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
(2) Sweet Potatoes washed and dried with skin on
Step 1: Wash the chicken and grab a sharp knife
Step 2: Separate the flat (the part with two bones) from the drum of the wing and remove the back portion keeping as much skin as possible on the breast. The skin will help protect the breast as it cooks and help make sure it doesn't dry out.
Step 3: Once everything is separated, dry all the pieces with paper towels.
Step 4: Place the chicken in a clean bowl and add the extra virgin olive oil. This will help the rub stick to the chicken while helping make sure that the chicken doesn't stick to the grill.
Step 5: Add your dry rub
Step 6: Mix well with your hands
Once you are done mixing it should look something like this:
Step 7: Fill a chimney about 3/4 of the way with charcoal and light it
Step 8: While the charcoal gets hot, cut the sweet potatoes on a bias approximately 1/2 inch thick
Step 9: Once the charcoal is hot (about 10-15 minutes depending on wind and outdoor temperature) pour it on one side of the grill and cover to get the grill hot.
Just in case you were curious what the equivalent of watching water boil was for someone who grills
Step 10: Place the chicken with the skin side down on the grill for 3 minutes and then flip over for another 3 minutes on the other side.
Step 11: Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill (the side with no charcoal) and place the sweet potatoes down for one minute on each side to get some grill marks.
Step 12: Once both sides of the sweet potatoes are done, move them to the cool side of the grill and put the cover on to finish cooking using indirect heat.
Step 13: Depending on the temperature of the grill, after 1 hour and 15 minutes, go outside and check on your chicken and potatoes
Step 14: Wait a few minutes before diving in, it is going to be HOT!!
