We love cooking, we really do. But sometimes we want to be able to rustle up something that's delicious, but simple to make – and requires next to no washing up. Enter The Roasting Tin, a new cookbook from Rukmini Iyer, which is filled with recipes that can be made in just one roasting tin. She's carefully put together meals that are big on flavour but small on prep, and this particular dish is no exception. Wash it down with something chilled on a bright summer's day.

Ingredients
- 800g free-range chicken wings
- 800g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2½ cm wedges
- 2 teaspoons chipotle chilli flakes
- 1 tsp smoked paprika

Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C fan/170°C/gas 3.

- Turn the heat up to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6 and roast for a further 20 minutes, to crisp up the chicken skin.
