Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 3 minced garlic cloves until combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss the Brussels sprouts gently to coat.
  3. Step 3: Brush the maple-ginger glaze liberally over the chicken thighs. Arrange chicken skin-side up on the sheet pan.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized, basting the chicken with remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
