Steps
-
Set a rack in the centre of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum paper.
-
In a bowl, combine the garlic, maple syrup, mustards, and white wine vinegar. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat with the sauce. Transfer the chicken to the centre of the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts and sweet potato, then drizzle the vegetables with olive oil. Generously season with pepper, but salt lightly. Spread the vegetables around the chicken. Bake for 15 minutes.
-
Turn the vegetables. Sprinkle the cranberries over the vegetables, then bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Recommendations
It is preferable to use chicken thighs for this recipe. Roasted chicken thigh meat remains more tender than chicken breast.
