Preparation
Start the vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Lightly oil the basket.
- Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into ½ inch wedges.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Roast, 12 min., until partially cooked.
Fry the chicken
- Meanwhile, halve the lime; juice ½ and cut the remaining ½ into wedges.
- Pat the chicken dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a medium bowl, combine the tamarind, pineapple chili sauce and lime juice. Set ½ the sauce aside in a small bowl.
- To the medium bowl of sauce, add the chicken and a drizzle of oil; toss well.
- Place the chicken* in the air fryer and fry, flipping halfway and brushing with the reserved sauce, 12 to 14 min., until cooked through.
Finish the vegetables
- Halve, core and cut the sweet pepper and poblano lengthwise into 1-inch pieces.
- In a second medium bowl, combine the sweet pepper, poblano, a drizzle oil and S&P.
- When the sweet potatoes are partially cooked, flip and add the sweet pepper and poblano.
- Roast, 10 to 12 min., until tender.
Plate your dish
