Ingredients

  • 1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large)
  • 4 small shallots, quartered
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika, sweet or hot
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 large or 4 small bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds), skin removed

Directions

  1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F.
  2. Combine brussels sprouts, shallots and lemon with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Mash garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt with the side of a chef’s knife until it becomes a paste.
  4. Combine the garlic paste with paprika, thyme and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Rub the paste all over chicken. Nestle the chicken into the brussels sprouts.
  6. Roast on the lower rack until the brussels sprouts are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
Tip:
A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup, line them with a layer of foil before each use.
