Brush fowl with 2 tablespoons oil and place in a roasting pan. Using half of the honey glaze, coat fowl and cook for 25-30 minutes in preheated oven. Brush again with remaining glaze and cook another 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse sweet potatoes and cook for 20-25 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain, peel and cut into 0.5 cm (approximately 3/16 inch) thin slices. Heat remaining oil in a grill pan and grill potato slices 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove fowl from oven, divide and serve with grilled potato slices on warmed plates. Garnish with orange zest and parsley leaves and serve.
