Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts, Bacon, and Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
Next, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and arrange your chicken thighs in it, making sure they have plenty of space to cook evenly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine halved or quartered red potatoes, trimmed Brussels sprouts, and minced garlic.
Step 4
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the veggies and toss them gently until they’re all beautifully coated.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Place the seasoned vegetables around and between the chicken thighs in the baking dish, creating a colorful and inviting scene.
Step 6
Sprinkle cracked salt, freshly ground black pepper, and dried thyme over the entire dish, adding layers of flavor that will make your taste buds dance.
Step 7
For a delightful twist, sprinkle the entire packet of ranch dressing mix over the chicken and veggies, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 8
Don’t forget to top it all off with some chopped bacon for that irresistible crunch! Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear.
Step 10
For an extra touch of perfection, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C) near the bone.
Step 11
If you’re craving a crispy finish, move an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
Step 12
Place the baking dish under the broiler for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely as the chicken skin turns golden brown and crispy.
Step 13
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be simply irresistible! Enjoy your deliciously roasted chicken thighs with vibrant veggies, and savor every bite of this comforting meal.
