Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Arrange ingredients in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Chicken should be skin side up.

  4. Roast, rotating pan halfway through cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) with a meat thermometer and cauliflower is tender, about 35 minutes.
