This grilled honey chicken and sweet potatoes is a mix of sweet and spicy. It’s super quick, easy, and SO DELICIOUS. The perfect recipe for warm days when turning on the oven is just not something you want to do.
I hope everyone had a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend! Mine was great. I spent some much needed time with mom looking back at old photos from when I was a kid. If you follow along on Instagram or read my favorites post, you saw all of those fun photos.
My brothers and I all got together and gave my mom (and dad and Asher) plane tickets out to San Diego for Memorial Day weekend. A few of my brothers are living out there, as well as two of my cousins. Everyone else is flying in for the weekend, so all 17 of us will be together again. Mom is definitely excited to have the gang all together!
It was the perfect gift because my mom is not huge on material things. She’d much prefer to spend time with her family, than be gifted a fancy new necklace (or something along those lines). And of course, I also showered her with flowers and my favorite candles, because you know I cannot resist flowers. AND I finally found peonies, so I was very excited about that.
Probably way more excited than my mom…
Speaking of Memorial Day, it’s hard for me to believe that it’s just two weeks away. To me, Memorial Day marks the start of grilling season and all things summer. I feel like a lot of you may think along those same lines? Either way, the warm weather and long days are slowly creeping their way back into our lives, and as you can guess, I am very excited about it.
One of the requests I’ve been receiving a lot lately is for dinners made entirely on the grill. Some of you have stressed that you live in very warm places (I am jealous, heat and humidity are my kind of thing) where turning on the oven throughout these warmer months is a big fat NO.
Well, I am listening, and today’s chicken (and sweet potato) recipe is made entirely on the grill.
OK well, not the rice, but I mean, you don’t have to make rice. Although I highly recommend it. I myself can’t do grilled chicken without a side of rice, it’s just my kind of comfort food.
Anyway, this chicken is nothing short of awesome. It’s really easy to throw together, and so flavorful too. The marinade is a simple mix of lime, honey, chili flakes, herbs, and a good amount of garlic. You only need to marinate the chicken for fifteen minutes or so before grilling, and while that’s happening you can be prepping the rest of the recipe.
I decided to skewer the chicken with bell peppers for an extra boost of veggies. Once grilled the chicken is tender, caramelized, citrusy, a little sweet and a little spicy. It is so good.
Since you guys know me, you know I love my color, and my veggies. So I grilled up some sweet potatoes alongside the chicken. If you’ve never grilled sweet potatoes before prepare to be amazed. The amount of flavor the grill adds to the potatoes is so good. I personally love the pieces that get a little too charred.
And yes, I know sweet potatoes are a carb, but I also had to add rice, because again, I rarely do grilled chicken without a side of rice. It’s just a thing I have to do. Where there is chicken, there will also be rice. Always.
Lastly, the salsa. It’s not your traditional salsa, but it pairs perfectly with this sweet, spicy, and savory recipe. Plus, I just love avocado too much, so I add it to as many recipes as I can. Not sorry about it.
All in all, I couldn’t love this recipe more. I know it’s kind of simple…ish, but it’s also great in so many ways. Nothing too complicated, but yet still flavorful and fun.
And of course, it’s perfect for all the warm days ahead.
OH, and it’s pretty healthy too. So yeah, I’d say it’s a good dinner for a Monday night.

I am so glad you liked this and hope you are enjoying your new home Ardith! Thank you!
How did your sweet potatoes get grill marks if they were on tin foil?
HI! I did not use tin foil to grill my sweet potatoes. I put them directly on the grill. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂

Thank you so much Sharon! I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe and hope you love others on my blog as well!
Delish, made as instructed, except cut sweet potatoes in rounds with mandolin and spiced them up with Paul Pudhomme magic seasoning.
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe Chris! Also, that sounds amazing! Thank you!
Made this tonight, it was tasty!! Now that summer’s here I want to use every chance I can to be put in the sun, so please bring on the grilling recipes!
We had to grill our sweet potatoes for about 17min, bt that may be because we used a grill pan instead of tin foil.
This would be great to make on Sunday night and have leftovers for the week.
I was surprised on how much flavour there was in the chicken especially considering I only marinated for 15min.
Will definitely be making this again.
Thank you Natasha! I am so glad you loved this recipe!
I’m always trying to find the “healthish-est” recipes. I made this for a casual dinner party and it was fabulous! Everyone loved it and with all the amazing flavors, nobody missed the “unhealthy” things. I am a huge fan! Love the book too. Thank you for making me look good all the time.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you like this!
