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

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!
