Roast Chicken With Sorghum And Squash

• Kosher salt
• 1 cup sorghum
• 1/2 large butternut squash, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, divided
• 4 bone-in chicken legs (thigh and drumstick; about 3 pounds total)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon (or more) sherry vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley
• 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

1. Bring 5 cups water to a boil in a medium pot, season with salt, and add sorghum. Cover and cook until tender, about 1 hour. Drain well.
2. Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and set a rimmed baking sheet on lower rack; preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Arrange squash on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and dot with 2 Tbsp. butter. Place on upper rack in oven. Roast, turning occasionally to recoat with butter, until tender, 40-45 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, rub chicken all over with oil; season with salt and pepper. Place skin side down on heated baking sheet on lower rack in oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165u0b0F, 30-35 minutes.
4. Cook remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it foams, then browns (be careful not to let it burn), about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; add sorghum, squash, broth, maple syrup, and vinegar to brown butter and toss to combine. Simmer until liquid is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice; season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.
5. Divide squash and sorghum among plates and top with chicken, parsley, and pomegranate seeds.
