Steps:
- For the McCain Crispy Sweet Potato Fries, preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F/Gas Mark 7. For fan assisted ovens preheat to 210°C/410°F.
- For the chicken, preheat the oven to 210°C.
- Place the peppers, red onion and garlic cloves into a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Rub the chicken legs on both sides with a little olive oil and then the Mexican fajita seasoning. Sit the seasoned chicken on top and drizzle with some olive oil. Place into the oven for 30 mins or until the chicken legs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and rest.

Steps:
- Wash, peel and cut up potatoes into fries or cubes.
- Toss with oil then with taco seasonings.
- Add to slightly greased pan and bake in 425°F oven 10 minutes, turn, 10 more minutes.
- These will likely come out better (and not need to be turned) if you place a cooling rack on/in the cookie sheet and then place the fries on the rack. The air gets right around the fries. (Tip learned from Rachael Ray).
