Steps:

- When both sides of the chicken are crisped up, add in your Brussels sprouts to the pan along with your chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir.

Steps:
- Add the chicken to a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat skin side up. (If using skinless thighs, add a teaspoon of oil.) Sprinkle half the salt and pepper over the chicken and let it cook for 5 minutes, or until it has browned on the bottom. Flip the chicken over and sprinkle on the remaining salt and pepper. Cook until the skin is crispy or the top is brown, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- While the chicken is cooking, cut the brussels in half. Add the brussels sprouts to the pan and let them cook until they are brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Push them to the side of the pan and arrange the chicken on the other side of the pan. Pour the chicken stock into the pan (not over the crispy chicken) and let it simmer until the pan is dry and the chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
- Pile the brussels sprouts on one side of the pan and add the butter and garlic. Let the garlic cook for 2 minutes then spoon some garlic butter over the tops of the chicken. Mix the rest of the garlic butter into the brussels sprouts.
- Serve with lots of extra black pepper.

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.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees, set one rack 6 inches from the broiler and place another rack in the lower third of the oven. In a large bowl, combine the butter, zest of both lemons, half the parsley and 1 teaspoon salt. Rub 1 teaspoon oil on a sheet pan. Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to the sheet pan and season well with salt and pepper. Reserve about 1 teaspoon of the compound butter in the bowl, then rub the rest all over the chicken and under the skin by lifting it up, pushing a tiny amount of compound butter underneath, then pressing on top. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up.
- Add the brussels sprouts, onion wedges, lemon rounds, red-pepper flakes and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the compound butter; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the brussels sprouts mixture around the chicken, placing some lemon rounds on top of the vegetables.
- Roast on the lower rack, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the chicken is crispy, the chicken juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a fork, and the brussels sprouts are browned and crunchy. If the chicken skin is not as crispy as you'd like, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter, then place the chicken under the broiler for 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the serving platter.
- Squeeze one of the lemon halves over the chicken and vegetables and cut the remaining lemon half into quarters. Garnish the chicken and vegetables with the cheese and the remaining parsley, and serve with the lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken legs: Look for plump, juicy chicken legs with evenly distributed fat. Avoid any legs that have a slimy texture or an off smell.
- Season the chicken legs well: Use a flavorful blend of herbs and spices to season the chicken legs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more enjoyable to eat.
- Sear the chicken legs before roasting: Searing the chicken legs in a hot skillet before roasting will help to create a crispy, golden brown crust. This will also help to lock in the juices and prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Roast the chicken legs and Brussels sprouts together: Roasting the chicken legs and Brussels sprouts together is a great way to save time and create a delicious, one-pan meal. The Brussels sprouts will soak up the flavorful juices from the chicken, making them extra tasty.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and Brussels sprouts. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity, peppery taste.
Conclusion:
This one-pan crispy chicken legs and Brussels sprouts recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The chicken legs are juicy and flavorful, and the Brussels sprouts are roasted to perfection. This recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
