Bone-in chicken thighs roasted with lemon, garlic and thyme alongside halved Brussels sprouts. The chicken skin renders fat to caramelize the sprouts — no added oils necessary.

This recipe is originally for 4 servings. How many are you cooking for today?

Ingredients
  • 4 eachs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs total)
  • 12 ozs Brussels sprouts, halved (~3 cups)
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 each lemon, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt, pepper and thyme.

2

Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on a roasting pan. Nestle halved Brussels sprouts and smashed garlic around the chicken, and place lemon slices on top of chicken.

3

Roast 30–35 minutes until chicken registers 165°F (74°C) and skin is golden; stir sprouts once midway so they brown in the rendered chicken fat. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
