Make these delicious Maple-Roasted Chicken Thighs with sweet potato wedges and Brussels sprouts and get into the holiday spirit.

Finish this off with a sprinkle of dried cranberries and toasted pecans for some crunch and added flavor.
With this sheet-pan recipe, you can make a warm and flavorful dinner in less than 1 hour. To start off, preheat the oven to 425 °F. Place a large baking pan in the oven to heat for about 5 minutes.
