Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks carrots
- 12 oz, halved Brussels sprouts
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp, divided salt
- 1 tsp, divided black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth and set aside.
- Step 2: On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 4 medium carrots (cut into 1-inch chunks) and 12 oz halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread vegetables in an even layer.
- Step 3: Pat 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place chicken thighs skin side up on top of the vegetables.
- Step 4: Brush the glaze mixture evenly over the chicken thighs. Roast everything in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
- Step 5: For extra crispy skin, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning. Serve hot with roasted vegetables.
