Sheet-Pan Lemony Chicken with Brussels Sprouts
This is a true oven-to-table sheet-pan dinner full of tender, crunchy brussels sprouts and crispy, lemony chicken. A simple lemon-and-herb compound butter seasons both the chicken and sprouts, which are then topped with thin lemon slices that become crunchy in the oven, offering a nice textural element and a bright splash of color and flavor. The key is to cut the lemon rounds almost paper-thin, so they can crisp up and lose their bitterness. This recipe is easily adjustable for a larger batch: Add 4 drumsticks (about 1 ½ pounds) to the chicken thighs, increase the butter by 1 tablespoon and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee, at room temperature
  • 2 lemons, both zested (about 2 tablespoons), 1 cut into very thin rounds and 1 halved, seeds removed
  • ½ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 ½ to 2 pounds)
  • 1 ½ pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, tough outer leaves removed
  • 1 small red onion, peeled, quartered and cut into 1-inch wedges
  • ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
