Cooking Instructions

Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy cauliflower, consider roasting it for 10 minutes before adding the chicken to the baking sheet.

  
  

• Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to suit your desired level of spiciness.

  
  

• For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and increase the amount of cauliflower used.
