Step 1

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F). Using a paper towel, lightly coat a small baking dish with oil.

Step 2

Add chicken to the dish, place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Peel and mince garlic. In a small bowl, prepare sauce by mixing together 2/3 of the garlic (save the rest for dressing), soy sauce, honey, and parsley flakes. Set aside.

Step 4

Wash, dry and transfer spinach to a large bowl. Halve and pit avocado; scoop out, medium dice, and add to bowl. Wash, peel, and quarter orange. Slice 3 of the quarters (save 1 for the dressing) into wedges and add to bowl. Toss salad.

Step 5

Remove dish from oven, pour honey garlic sauce over drumsticks and turn to coat. Place back in the oven and bake until cooked through, another 20–25 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, prepare dressing by whisking together juice of remaining orange, remaining garlic, oil, salt, and pepper.
