Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs attached)
- 450 grams Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, sliced into wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken legs dry with a paper towel. This helps to ensure crispy skin during roasting.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a seasoning paste.
Rub the seasoning paste evenly on both sides of the chicken legs and set them aside.
In another large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
On a large sheet pan or roasting tray, arrange the seasoned chicken legs on one side and the Brussels sprouts on the other.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the Brussels sprouts halfway through to ensure even caramelization. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and have crispy, golden skin.
If needed, broil the chicken and Brussels sprouts for an additional 2-3 minutes to enhance crispiness, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes. Serve the chicken legs and Brussels sprouts with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness.
