This has become one of my go-to recipes to share with friends as it's easy and delicious, allowing me to focus my kitchen energies elsewhere.

Any tips on timing for cooking bone-in skin-on chicken breasts and thighs instead of legs?

Recipe is fine, but no instructions on reducing the vinegar

Thanks, Jocelyng!
Lynette — I just added the step to the recipe. Sorry about that! Thought I had included it but I guess it was just in the notes.

Amazing! So easy and delicious. Definitely make more Brussels sprouts as you won't be able to stop sneaking bites before serving.

So happy to hear this, Amy! I find the sprouts irresistible, too. Thanks for writing in!

This sounds really good but nobody in my family likes chicken legs (only breasts, not even thighs--which seem to be the go-to chicken part for all recipes these days). I wonder if it would work with quartered bone-in breasts?

Absolutely! I think you'll just have to adjust the timing a bit — the breasts will take less time than the legs, I think, but not too much less time. I actually roast bone-in legs and breasts together, and it works fine, so maybe no adjustments are necessary? : http://www.alexandracooks.com/2014/05/14/the-crispiest-spring-chicken/

I just prepared this for dinner with 2 lbs of Brussel sprouts (taking my cue from the comments)....as my husband said, 'wow, that's a lot of Brussel sprouts!' It was but, my gosh, every single one of them was delicious! Super easy recipe and SO flavorful! Thank you for the cold winter night inspiration!

Haha, I love it. So happy to hear this. I never imagined counting on 1 lb. of Brussels sprouts per person, but my husband and I devoured 1.5 lbs. and could have easily taken down a half pound more. Two pounds it will be from here on out! Editing recipe now :)

Another great recipe, Alexandra! (Made your crispy (or not) fingerling potatoes for New Year's Eve.) Agree with the other commenter about more sprouts. Might have add more balsamic reduction, in that case.

So great to hear this Jocelyng! I made it again tonight and used about 1.5 lbs. of sprouts and my husband and I ate every last one — probably could have done 2 lbs. with success. I did add more of the reduced balsamic. I started wit 1/2 cup, reduced it to less than 1/4 cup, and used all of it to deglaze the sheet pan. And yay for Crispy (or Not) fingerling potatoes. Happy Happy New Year!!
