Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks & Butternut Squash Slaw

Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks & Butternut Squash Slaw

This is one of the best marinades I've ever used!  The combination of the balsamic, honey and coconut oil surprisingly marries well. Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks 3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 lb chicken drumsticks
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine oil, garlic, vinegar and honey in a large bowl. Add chicken, toss well to coat. Place chicken on a rack of a roasting pan rubbed with olive oil. Bake 35 minutes. Bring remaining oil mixture to a boil in a small saucepan; boil 1 minute. Serve reduced sauce with drumsticks. Butternut Squash Slaw 1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1⁄2 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper Place chunks of squash in food processor fitted with shredder disc and shred. (Or shred butternut squash on the large holes of a box grater).  Combine shredded squash, onions, oil, vinegar and garlic in a large bowl.  Stir in salt and pepper.  Note: As an option, you can microwave whole butternut squash 2 to 4 minutes and then slice in half and remove seeds.  Then peel and cut butternut squash into thin matchstick slices using a sharp knife.  Enjoy!
