Ingredients
Scale
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 red onion, cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and red onion with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelized. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
For crispier vegetables, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Notes
You can substitute chicken breasts or a whole chicken cut into pieces. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers. Stagger their addition based on density; denser vegetables like root vegetables should go in first.
To ensure crispy skin on the chicken, pat it dry thoroughly before seasoning and roasting.
