Preparation Method
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

- Midway through, flip the chicken and stir sprouts for even roasting.
- While chicken and Brussels sprouts roast, cook the bacon until crisp in a large skillet, drain, and make the sauce:
- For the sauce, heat a medium saucepan over med heat and add the 3 Tbsp cooking fat.
- Add the onions, cook until translucent and fragrant, then add the garlic and continue to cook until soft, adjusting heat if necessary.
