Piri Piri Chicken Traybake with Sweet Potato Wedges

I first made this traybake years ago and it has always been one of my favourites so decided it was high time I share it with you! What I love so much is that you simply toss the ingredients together, pop it in the oven and 45 minutes later dinner is served.

I love this chicken served with the sweet potato wedges, it goes so well. If I have time I also serve my Avocado Lime Dressing alongside. It’s a match made in heaven and a brilliant way to get veg into people without them realising!

We eat lots of chicken in our house. I love it almost any way, and chicken recipes are always really popular on my site, so you must too! I particularly like my Sun Dried Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Chicken. My Juicy Chicken Enchiladas and Sweet and Sour Leftover Chicken are the perfect way to use up any left-over chicken you may have, and my Paprika Cream Chicken remains my all-time most popular post. If you like those recipes, then you’ll love this!

    Living in portugal we eat piri piri often, but usually just on a whole chicken. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the taste and so easy to make. Mine didn’t look as good as your photo, but still tasted fantastic

    This looks absolutely incredible – I love piri piri chicken so much! I assume you can substitute regular potato for the sweet potato? I’m not a massive fan of sweet potato somehow, but otherwise, this is a perfect meal for me!

      Hi Hannah. Absolutely. Regular potato would be a perfect substitute for the sweet potato. I glad you like the look of it:)
