Strain the parboiled vegetables
Toss the root vegetables, garlic and onion in a large bowl with olive oil, celery salt, salt and pepper
Season the chicken thighs with celery salt and pepper
Sear each side of the chicken thighs in a pan over high heat for just a minute (chicken thighs are thin don’t overcook them in this step)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Transfer the chicken thighs and vegetables to the baking sheet
Throw all the Brussels sprouts in the same bowl as before with a bit more olive oil, celery salt and pepper and some fresh thyme sprigs, toss this and sear them in the pan over high heat until the bottom starts getting crusty
Transfer the Brussel sprouts to the sheet pan
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes
During the last couple minutes in the oven, brush on the melted butter
