Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter or oil with your seasonings of choice. Brush it all over the chicken legs and place them skin-side up on a baking tray or in a baking dish.
- Bake the chicken thighs for 30 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the meat is no longer pink inside (the internal temperature should read at least 165°F (73°C)).
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Split the green cabbage into wedges and remove the thick stem in the middle. Cut slices — less than 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide — and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or in a large baking dish.
- Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the cabbage is roasted.
- Peel the avocado and mash it with a fork.
- Add the tomato, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
