method

To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients by hand or using a blender or food processor, to make a paste.

Rub the meat with the marinade, place it in a plastic bag or in a shallow dish and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.

Bring meat to room temperature while preparing the BBQ. Prepare sweet potatoes.

For the sweet potatoes, cut potatoes into 1/4-inch slices and toss with the remaining ingredients. Cut two pieces of heavy-duty foil, pile half the potatoes on each piece, and then seal the edges.

Using a drip pan, grill chicken over indirect medium-low heat until it is cooked through (about 30-45 minutes). Put sweet potatoes on BBQ after chicken has been cooking 15-20 minutes. Grill potatoes over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until tender, flipping packages occasionally during cooking. Chicken should reach 180° F. internal temperature. Baste chicken periodically with marinade.
