How to make it

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts and the chopped bacon. Toss them together.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts and bacon.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over everything. Sprinkle with smoked paprika. Toss well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. You can add salt and pepper if desired.

  5. 5

    Spread the chicken, Brussels sprouts, and bacon in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, and the Brussels sprouts are tender and lightly charred. Stir halfway through baking for even cooking.

  7. 7

    Serve hot directly from the baking sheet. This makes for an easy and delicious one-pan dinner.
