Maple Roasted Chicken & Sweet Potatoes

Fall.  Have I mentioned it's my favorite season?  And for so many reasons.  With one of the biggest being - the FOOD.

After all, it's always all about the food...isn't it?

Maple Roasted Chicken & Sweet Potatoes
slightly adapted from Handle the Heat

6 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
1 yellow onion, cut in wedges
3 sweet potatoes, cut in chunks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons maple syrup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Arrange chicken, onion and potatoes in a 9x13 baking dish.  Drizzle oil over chicken and vegetables and season with salt, pepper and thyme.  Toss to coat.  Drizzle with syrup.

Roast until chicken is cooked through, about 70-75 minutes.  Turn vegetables halfway through.  Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
