Crispy Chicken Thighs with Cauliflower and Cilantro
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2.5 lb Bone-In Chicken Thighs
- 1 heads Cauliflower
- .25 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
- .5 bunches Fresh Cilantro rinsed and chopped
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- .5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 450° F. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Working in batches, cook the chicken skin-side down until crisp and golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate; reserve the skillet.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings from the skillet. Add the cauliflower, crushed red pepper flakes, and remaining salt and black pepper; toss to coat. Nestle the chicken skin-side up in the cauliflower, transfer to oven, and roast until the cauliflower is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Add the lime juice and cilantro to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve with the lime wedges.
