  • step 1
    ingredients     
    instructions Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • step 2
    ingredients 12 Chicken Drumsticks
    Kosher Salt
    instructions Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet and season all over with salt. Bake unadorned for 20 minutes (25 minutes if your drumsticks are very large).
  • step 3
    ingredients 1 cup Strong Coffee
    1/2 cup Buttermilk
    2 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce preferably chipotle
    1 tablespoon Fennel Seeds (lightly crushed in a spice or coffee grinder)
    2 tablespoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
    2 tablespoon Dark Roast Coffee (finely ground)
    instructions Meanwhile,  in a medium bowl, stir together the coffee, the buttermilk, Tabasco sauce, fennel seeds, black pepper and finely ground coffee. Set a wire rack over a large plate or a small baking sheet.
  • step 4
    ingredients     
    instructions As soon as the drumsticks come out of the oven, toss them, in batches, into the coffee-buttermilk mixture and turn to coat, then place skin side up on the rack to drain. Spoon a little of the mixture, with the fennel seeds and pepper, over the top of each one, and set aside. (The drumsticks can be baked and marinated up to a day ahead; leave them on the rack, cover, and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
  • step 5
    ingredients     
    instructions Preheat a gas grill or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.
  • step 6
    ingredients 2 Fennel Bulbs
    instructions Trim the fennel bulbs, cut lengthwise in half, and cut out most of the core. Cut into 1/4-inch-wide batonettes and toss into a bowl of ice water.
  • step 7
    ingredients 4 ounce Gorgonzola Dolce
    1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
    1/2 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
    instructions Crumble the Gorgonzola into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add the red wine vinegar and stir with the fork until fairly smooth. Drizzle in the oil, stirring, to make a dressing. Pour into one or more shallow bowls for dipping.
  • step 8
    ingredients    
    instructions Place the drumsticks on the hottest part of the grill, cover the grill, and cook, turning occasionally at first and then more often as they start to caramelize, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • step 9
    ingredients    
    instructions Put the drumsticks on a platter. Drain the fennel sticks, pat dry, and plate with the chicken and the dipping sauce.
