I call this the best chicken thigh recipe becauce it’s super easy to make and contains all my favorite ingredients. I LOVE cauliflower and especially when it’s oven baked. And together with grapes, almonds and a yummy basil dressing this dish just rock my world.
Huge fan of cauliflower
I’m actually that big a fan of cauliflower that I literally always have it in my fridge. The best thing is when it’s cauliflower season here in Denmark and I can get them “almost” straight from my neighbours’ garden.
But I can settle with the organic ones from the south European countries any other time of the year, so I can make my favorite Pizza with cauliflower crust or of course my best chicken thigh recipe.
