Step By Step

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
Combine ground fennel, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3
Dip drumsticks in melted ghee. Do not discard any extra ghee, as this will be used for basting later. Roll drumsticks in ground fennel mixture.
4
Place drumsticks on wire rack laid on top of baking sheet, and roast for 10 minutes.
5
Baste drumsticks with remaining ghee, and roast for another 10 minutes. Flip the drumsticks, then baste once more. Roast for 20 more minutes.
6
Remove from oven, and let rest for at least 3 minutes.

Orange Vinaigrette

1
Combine all ingredients except avocado oil in mixing bowl.
2
Slowly add avocado oil while whisking mixture, and set aside.
3
Toss all ingredients together with orange vinaigrette in large salad bowl.
4
Serve with fennel-rubbed drumsticks (warm or at room temperature).  Skip the salad and use the drumsticks for your meal prep!
