Simple chicken drumsticks are a fun finger-food addition for autumn. By adding in miso to the meal it helps to restore beneficial probiotics to the gut and aids in digestion of other foods. We are often asked why miso and tamari are allowed on the Clean Program while other soy products are not. The reason is miso and tamari are fermented, providing health benefits and cutting out the effects of phytic acid. We recommend using organic and non-gmo sources for your miso and chicken. Eat this on its own or pair it with a simple salad.
