Ingredients
- 2 pkgs ButcherBox Drumsticks
- ¼ c ground fennel
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 3 Tbsp ghee melted
Orange Vinaigrette
- 1 orange juiced and zested
- ¼ c champagne vinegar
- ⅓ c avocado oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Fennel and Apple Salad
- 2 bulbs fennel thinly sliced

- ½ c crumbled feta
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine ground fennel, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

- Place drumsticks on wire rack laid on top of baking sheet, and roast for 10 minutes.
- Baste drumsticks with remaining ghee, and roast for another 10 minutes. Flip the drumsticks, then baste once more. Roast for 20 more minutes.
- Remove from oven, and let rest for at least 3 minutes.
Orange Vinaigrette
- Combine all ingredients except avocado oil in mixing bowl.
- Slowly add avocado oil while whisking mixture, and set aside.
- Toss all ingredients together with orange vinaigrette in large salad bowl.
- Serve with fennel-rubbed drumsticks (warm or at room temperature). Skip the salad and use the drumsticks for your meal prep!
