Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 4 minced garlic cloves, zest and juice of 1 large lemon, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to create a marinade.
- Step 3: Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly with the lemon-garlic marinade.
- Step 4: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a large rimmed baking sheet and scatter the Brussels sprouts around them in a single layer.
- Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the Brussels sprouts are tender with caramelized edges.
- Step 6: For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
