3 medium beets
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon margarine, cut into small cubes
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons honey
2 ounces cola
1 ounce Irish whiskey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ginger powder
4 tablespoons blended oil

  • Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch wedges. Place in a roasting pan with approximately 1/2 inch water. Top with margarine, cover pan with foil and bake until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Next, trim all fat off chicken thighs and discard. Set chicken aside. Whisk together honey, cola, whiskey, mustard, sriracha, ginger powder, 2 tablespoons blended oil and 1 teaspoon chopped garlic in a medium bowl. Set aside half the sauce for later, then add the chicken thighs to the remaining sauce.

Saute until the outsides of the sweet potatoes crisp up, 7 to 10 minutes.
