Shio Koji Japanese Sweet Potato & Chicken

Grilled chicken & Japanese sweet potatoes

This is the first time I'm attempting to have Japanese sweet potatoes as my side dish INSTEAD of dessert. It will be my last time, too. It's too sweet and dry, even without honey in the mix, as side dish to my main course!
