4 tsp (20ml) canola oil

1 tsp (5ml) corn starch

1/2 tsp (2.5ml) smoked paprika

1/2 tsp (2.5ml) garlic powder

Chicken:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Mix the canola oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, Sriracha sauce, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and garlic together. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Line an oven tray with foil and put the chicken wings onto it. Pour half the sauce over the wings, making sure they are evenly coated
  • Roast the wings for 40 minutes, then turn the heat up to 220°C. Add the remaining sauce and roast on high heat for 8 minutes.
 

Sweet potato chips:

  • Line a baking tray with foil. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chips.
  • Whisk together the canola oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl—season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the chips and toss to coat them evenly.
  • Spread the chips out evenly over the baking tray and put them in the oven at the same time as the chicken, at 200°C.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the potatoes over and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve hot with the sticky chicken wings.
