Sheet Pan Roasted Chicken Thighs With Brussels Sprouts Food

SHEET-PAN LEMONY CHICKEN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees, set one rack 6 inches from the broiler and place another rack in the lower third of the oven. In a large bowl, combine the butter, zest of both lemons, half the parsley and 1 teaspoon salt. Rub 1 teaspoon oil on a sheet pan. Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to the sheet pan and season well with salt and pepper. Reserve about 1 teaspoon of the compound butter in the bowl, then rub the rest all over the chicken and under the skin by lifting it up, pushing a tiny amount of compound butter underneath, then pressing on top. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up.
• Add the brussels sprouts, onion wedges, lemon rounds, red-pepper flakes and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the compound butter; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the brussels sprouts mixture around the chicken, placing some lemon rounds on top of the vegetables.
• Roast on the lower rack, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the chicken is crispy, the chicken juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a fork, and the brussels sprouts are browned and crunchy. If the chicken skin is not as crispy as you'd like, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter, then place the chicken under the broiler for 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the serving platter.
• Squeeze one of the lemon halves over the chicken and vegetables and cut the remaining lemon half into quarters. Garnish the chicken and vegetables with the cheese and the remaining parsley, and serve with the lemon wedges.

SHEET PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Clean and trim fat from chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl with Brussels sprouts, wine, sausage, shallots, lemon slices, garlic, oil, rosemary, fennel seeds, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Toss together with your hands and allow to marinate at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Pour chicken and vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking pan. Arrange thighs, skin-side up, over mixture.
• Roast in the preheated oven until thighs are browned, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
