For the Chicken:
Season the chicken with black pepper, cayenne pepper (spicy!), seasoned salt, paprika, chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes (or maybe more if you’re using large chicken breasts). Baste with your favorite barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes of the cooking.
For the Fries:
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into sticks. Lightly coat in canola oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Place the fries in a single layer on a pan and put in the oven. Since I was baking the chicken at the same time, I put the sweet potatoes in at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Once the chicken was done, I raised the temperature to 450 degrees and cooked the fries for another 15 minutes. In they end they tasted good, but were a little droopy. I think that I’ll have to go back to the drawing board with regard to the time and temperature for the oven to try to make them a little stiffer.
