This is one of those quick & easy dinners that taste amazing.
I made these crispy chicken thighs in a rush before heading to the gym, when we had dinner at 7pm, I was doing a little celebratory dance at how delicious they were. I just knew I had to share it with all of you. So, I made them again the next day, wrote down the recipe & photographed it all. You’re welcome!
Cooking wine is a no-no on Whole30, so if you’re on a Whole30, use White Wine Vinegar, which is compliant.
For my AIPers…. good news, the alcohol burns off during cooking so cooking with wine is OK even during the elimination phase (The Paleo Mom says so), you will also need to use coconut flour or tapioca vs the almond meal. However, these crispy chicken thighs with roasted brussel sprouts will be a hit!
My neighbor, Bettina, she makes the best-roasted veggies, being Vegan and all, she’s definitely the authority of vegetables. Her no-fail method is shaken in a gallon sized ziplock with garlic, oil & salt. It always works. So I tried her method with this meal.
The thighs aren’t breaded really, but the coconut oil & almond meal bake little tarragon clusters that crisp over the thighs. The sprouts are soft with crispy outer leaves. If you’re planning on leftovers, make extra.
Everyone had second helpings in this house! These crispy chicken thighs with roasted brussel sprouts are really a no-fail family favorite and sversatilele. Perfect for various dietarpreferenceses.

The tarragon chicken was a hit even with my 7 year old. I wanted to use my grandmothers iron skillet and by doing it that way it held all the juices and we were able to use them to pour over on the plate. very nice! My husband asked me to add it to the rotation! That says a lot since he is a home chef.
