Note from Ricardo

Instead of a wok roaster, you can place the chicken directly over a can of root beer. Cook the chicken upright sitting on the can over indirect heat following the same cooking instructions as above. The sweet potatoes can be cooked at the same time in a papillotte (a tightly sealed foil packet).
