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.
- 10 minutes before the chicken legs have finished cooking, put the McCain Crispy Sweet Potato Fries on a baking tray in the oven and bake as per packet instructions.

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).

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some from being overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Soak the sweet potato fries in water before cooking: This will help them stay crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Use a high-quality oil for frying: This will help the fries stay crispy and prevent them from absorbing too much oil.
- Cook the fries in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the fries with your favorite spices: This will add flavor and make them more enjoyable.
- Serve the fries hot and crispy: They are best when they are fresh out of the fryer.
