Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Marinade: Clean and trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, Brussels sprouts, white wine, sausage slices, shallots, lemon slices, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, fennel seeds, thyme, sage, sea salt, and pepper. Toss everything together, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are well coated. Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator, tossing occasionally. (Marinating time: 30 minutes - 2 hours)

02

Step

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to a blazing 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). This high heat is key to achieving crispy chicken skin and beautifully caramelized Brussels sprouts. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. (Preheating time: ~15 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up to ensure maximum crispiness. Drizzle with a touch more olive oil if desired. (Arrangement time: ~5 minutes)

04

Step

Roast to Perfection: Roast in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are deeply browned, crispy, and cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). The Brussels sprouts should be tender and slightly charred. (Roasting time: 25-30 minutes)

05

Step

Rest and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken. (Resting time: 5-10 minutes)

For extra crispy chicken skin, consider broiling the thighs for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or potatoes, based on your preferences.
If you don't have fresh herbs, dried herbs can be used. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of each dried herb.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.

    Make sure to use a large enough sheet pan so the vegetables aren't crowded.

    The high heat really makes a difference. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly caramelized.
