Brown Butter Roasted Chicken with Brussels Sprouts

This brown butter roasted chicken with Brussels sprouts is a comfort food classic elevated with rich, nutty brown butter and fresh, vibrant flavors. Browning butter transforms it into a caramelized, aromatic glaze that infuses the chicken with depth, while lemon and garlic keep the dish bright and savory. Adding brussels sprouts halfway through ensures perfectly crisp vegetables that soak up the seasoned butter and pan juices. With its golden, crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat, this roasted chicken makes for an impressive centerpiece that’s surprisingly simple to prepare. Serve it for Sunday dinner, holidays, or even a weeknight when you’re craving something hearty and wholesome.

Preheat the oven to 350˚F.

Put the butter in your skillet on medium-low and let it melt and begin to bubble. Stir often, when it's just about done browning the butter will take on a nutty caramelized scent, the color will deepen, and the bubbles will get foamy and rise. Keep a very close eye on it at that point because it can quickly go from brown to burnt! Remove from heat.

Get your chicken ready, liberally salt and pepper the cavity and stuff with the lemon and garlic. Mix your seasoning in your browned butter and brush it all over your chicken,there should be about half the mixture left over. Roast your chicken (approx 20 minutes per pound) and halfway through pull it out, add your brussel sprouts and use the rest of the seasoned butter to baste your chicken again and drizzle over your sprouts.

Enjoy!
