Ingredients

For the chicken and brussels sprouts -

  • 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, about 1.5 - 1.75 lbs (680-790 grams) total
  • 1.5 lbs (690 grams) brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper

For serving -

  • 3-4 tbsp hot honey of choice or make your own hot honey below
  • choice of grains like rice or quinoa
  • ⅓ cup chopped pistachios
  • Fresh chopped basil for garnish

For the hot honey -

  • 1/4 cup liquid honey
  • 1 tsp hot sauce - might need a bit more hot sauce
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes or red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • If making your own hot honey, mix together the ¼ cup liquid honey, 1 tsp hot sauce and ½ tsp chili flakes and set aside.
  • To a large bowl add the chicken thighs and halved brussels sprouts. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and season with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Use your hands to toss everything together in the bowl to make sure everything is seasoned.
  • Place the seasoned chicken and brussels sprouts on the parchment paper lined baking sheet, making sure the chicken is skin side up, nestled between the brussels sprouts and everything is spread out in an even layer.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165F. If you want crispier chicken skin, once the chicken is fully cooked broil for 1-3 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Drizzle each cooked chicken thigh with hot honey, garnish with chopped pistachios and fresh chopped basil and serve with brussels sprouts on the side and your choice of grain if desired.

Notes

  • To meal prep this recipe, make the recipe and let fully cool. On the side, cook some rice or quinoa as a side. Once everything has cooled, portion into glass meal prep containers and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. 
  • Make sure to cook the chicken thighs skin-side up to get the best crispy skin. If the skin is not as crispy as you'd like at the end of the baking time, broil on low for 1-3 minutes but watch carefully to avoid any burning.
