Oven Sheet-Pan Orange-Ginger Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts & Crispy Red Potatoes

Sweet, savory, and a little smoky: juicy chicken thighs get a gingery orange glaze (hello, Georgia citrus season), then roast on a sheet pan with crispy-edged Brussels sprouts and red potatoes. Minimal cleanup, maximum “weeknight win.”

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Boneless & Skinless Fresh Chicken Thighs, 1 lb (sale) 1 lb $4.49
  • Kroger® Red Potatoes, 5 lb bag (sale) about 12 oz (3–4 small potatoes), halved $4.99
  • Fresh Brussels Sprouts, 1 lb 8 oz, halved $3.99
  • Spice World™ Fresh Peeled Ginger, 7 oz 1 tbsp finely grated $3.99
  • Fresh Navel Orange (in season in GA; any brand from list) 1 orange (zest + 1/4 cup juice) $1.19
  • Kroger® Whole Garlic Bulbs, 5 ct 2 cloves, minced $2.49
  • Yellow onion (from 3 lb bag) 1/2 medium, sliced $2.99
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp
  • Honey or brown sugar 1 tbsp
  • Dijon mustard (optional but great) 1 tsp
  • Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
  • Crushed red pepper (optional) pinch

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prep: Pat dry 1 lb chicken thighs; season all over with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Prep: Halve about 12 oz red potatoes and halve 8 oz Brussels sprouts. Slice 1/2 medium yellow onion. Mince 2 garlic cloves. Grate 1 tbsp ginger. Zest and juice 1 navel orange (you want about 1/4 cup juice).
  4. Make glaze: In a bowl, whisk orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar), 1 tsp Dijon (optional), 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of crushed red pepper (optional).
  5. Roast veg first: Toss halved potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and sliced onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread on the sheet pan cut-sides down where possible. Roast 12 minutes.
  6. Add chicken: Pull pan out. Push veggies to make space. Add seasoned chicken thighs. Spoon/brush half the orange-ginger glaze over the chicken (save the rest).
  7. Finish roasting: Roast 18–25 minutes more, until chicken hits 165°F and potatoes are tender. If you want extra color, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
  8. Glaze + serve: Brush the remaining glaze over hot chicken right before serving. Plate chicken with roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes.

Health notes: ~750–900 calories per serving (depends on how much oil/honey you use). High-protein, lots of cruciferous veg; moderate carbs from potatoes. Keep it lighter by using 1 tbsp oil total and skipping extra honey.

Drink pairing: Wine: Go with a zippy white that loves citrus and roasted veg. A dry Riesling is money with ginger + orange; alternatively a Sauvignon Blanc brings lift and herbal snap. If you want red, pick a light, chillable Pinot Noir. Local-ish bottle idea: Chateau Elan (GA) makes several approachable whites—look for their Sauvignon Blanc-style or any crisp white blend. Wine styles: Dry Riesling; Sauvignon Blanc; Light Pinot Noir
