In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, cumin, honey, vinegar, a tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken legs and put them on top of the bed of sweet potatoes. Roast for about 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (I always use a thermometer and aim for 160 degrees). In the middle of cooking, turn the chicken pieces over and give the sweet potatoes a stir.
