Lemon Pepper Drumsticks with Roasted Brussel Sprouts Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe
Chicken drumsticks are a great kid-friendly favorite dinner meat, and they are typically cheaper than buying chicken breasts. During grilling season, you can usually find some great deals on large packs of drumsticks. A good sale on meat is always awesome for the budget-conscious large family mom!
The Meat
I used two big family packs of chicken drumsticks, which were approximately 4 lbs each (remember, that’s bone-in weight), for a total of right around 8 lbs. I was blessed to pick these up on sale at Aldi for $0.99/lb!
The Veggies
I used four 1 lb bags of Brussel sprouts and sliced up 4 green onions for an added touch of flavor. I tossed the veggies in a large bowl with some avocado oil, the juice of a whole lemon, and some zesty lemon pepper seasoning. The finished roasted flavor makes them the perfect companion for the chicken drumsticks. Yum-m-mm!
The Cooking
After the oven is preheated to 450°, and the minimal prep work is done, this Lemon Pepper Drumsticks with Roasted Brussel Sprouts Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe bakes up in around 40 minutes, or whenever the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°. Easy peasy, and so delicious!
