Steps:
- For the chicken and rub: In a medium bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, white pepper, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
- In a large bowl, add the chicken and pour the butter over it, massaging the butter into the skin and the cavity of the chicken. Generously coat the chicken with the rub and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- For the potatoes. Brush the bottom and sides of a large cast-iron pan with melted butter and set the remaining butter aside. Arrange the potato slices upright in a spiral around the pan (not flat like a gratin). Between every 8 to 10 slices, tuck in some garlic and randomly tuck in the red onion slices as well. Once done, brush the remaining butter over the entire dish and sprinkle with the red chile flakes and some salt. Cover tightly with aluminum foil or a lid.
- Preheat the grill until extremely hot.
- Put the chicken skin-side down on the grill over indirect heat. Immediately top the chicken with the cast-iron pan of potatoes and press down. Close the grill and cook the chicken and potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover the potatoes, move the pan off the chicken and place it over indirect heat. Flip the chicken so it's skin-side up, place back over indirect heat as well and cook until a meat thermometer registers around 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes more, drizzling the chicken with the honey about 5 minutes before it's done.
- Set the chicken aside and gently tent with aluminum foil. Poke the potatoes with a fork and, if not tender, cook 5 to 10 minutes more with the grill closed. When ready to serve, drizzle the crema over the potatoes and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the chicken cut into parts.
HONEY-BUTTER BAKED CHICKEN WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange a rack inside a large roasting pan and set aside.
- Season the chicken both inside and out with the kosher salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, lemon zest and juice and butter. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan breast side up and roast until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Using a pastry brush, brush half of the honey mixture over the chicken, as well as sprinkling half the thyme over the chicken and return the chicken to the oven. Continue to cook another 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush the remaining honey blend and sprinkle the remainder of the thyme over the chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a platter or cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- To serve, spoon the sweet potatoes into the center of 4 large plates and arrange the chicken on top. Drizzle the chicken with any remaining pan juices and serve immediately with the sweet potatoes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and bake until tender and begins to ooze sugary syrup, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a large bowl. Add the cream, sugar, butter, syrup, salt and pepper, and thyme, if using and mix, mashing until the potato mixture is smooth. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Use a good quality honey: The honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a honey that is flavorful and has a nice amber color.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
- Make the mashed sweet potatoes ahead of time: Mashed sweet potatoes can be made up to 2 days in advance. Simply reheat them in a microwave or oven before serving.
Conclusion:
Honey butter baked chicken with mashed sweet potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the mashed sweet potatoes are creamy and sweet. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
