Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (900 grams) chicken thighs (about 6) bone-in, skin-on
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 10 ounces (300 grams) brussels sprouts trimmed
  • 1 red onion sliced into 8 wedges
  • 6 cloves garlic

Instructions

  • To marinate the chicken, put the chicken thighs to a large bowl. Then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, half teaspoon of salt, pepper, lemon juice, dijon mustard, and stone ground mustard.
  • Toss the chicken so that everything is coated evenly, then cover with cling film and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place trimmed and halved brussels sprouts on a sheet pan, followed by red onion, and garlic cloves.
  • Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season with the remaining salt and pepper. Toss so that everything is well coated.
  • Using tongs, place marinated chicken thighs skin side up on the sheet pan. Bake uncovered at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes. Then crisp the skin up and brown it under the broiler for a few minutes.

Notes

  • The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful the chicken will be. I recommend marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, and up to 48 hours in the fridge. If you're running out of time, you can skip the marinating process.
  • I don't recommend using chicken breasts in this recipe as they tend to dry out. So use chicken thighs instead to get juicy and nice chicken.
  • Check the doneness of the chicken thighs by inserting a kitchen thermometer in the center of the chicken (not in the bone), and it should read 165°F (75°C).
  • I like to add garlic cloves with the peel on, roast them and they will caramelize and become sweet. When serving, squeeze them out, and enjoy!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze pre-portioned in freezer bags for up to 2 months.
How to trim Brussels sprouts
  1. Cut off the stem end and remove any yellow/brown outer leaves.
  2. If the brussels sprouts are small, leave them as a whole. If they're medium in size, cut into halves. If large, cut into quarters.
