  1. Preheat your oven to 420°F (215°C) and line a large, heavy-duty sheet pan with aluminum foil.

  3. Slice red onion thinly and keep garlic cloves whole, then scatter around the chicken on the sheet pan.
  4. Halve cherry tomatoes and add to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
