What You’ll Need: 
Buttermilk Roasted Chicken
4-5 pounds whole chicken, cut up
2 cups buttermilk
1 medium onion, pureed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Stone Fruit Salad
1-2 peaches
1-2 nectarines
5 ounces salad greens, such as baby arugula or baby spinach
4 ounces feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Salad Dressing
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

What to Do:
Start by marinading the chicken: Peel and puree the onion using a grater or food processor. Mix the pureed onion, buttermilk, olive oil, honey, pepper, salt and thyme in a bowl with a whisk.

Put chicken into a large freezer bag or glass bowl and add the marinade. If you use a bowl make sure all chicken pieces are covered with the marinade. Seal the bowl with a lid or cling wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours but ideally over night.

Preheat oven to 400 ̊F to bake the chicken.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drip off the excess marinade of the chicken pieces and line the chicken parts skin side up on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Bake the chicken for at least 45 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 ̊F and bake for another 15 minutes. The chicken is done when juices run clear when pierced.

While the chicken is in the oven, prepare the salad: Wash and pad dry salad greens. Add olive oil, lime juice, honey and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk.

Core the stone fruit and cut into slices. Mix the greens with half of the salad dressing, and coat the fruit with the other half of the dressing. Set the fruit on top of the greens and sprinkle with feta cheese and some parsley.

Top with chicken and serve.

Potable and portable, boxed wines make a perfect compliment for long weekends, camping trips, and picnics in the park. Choose a boxed wine that's as unique as your event, everything from color (white, rose, red, orange) to size (1L, 1.5L, and 3L). Cheers!

FreshDirect University?* We sat down with Sr. Director of Corporate Strategy Kristy Nguyen to talk us through the lessons working at FreshDirect has taught her.

Q: What's something you've learned by working at FD?
A: Consumer’s relationship with food. At FreshDirect, our customers care about the product, the experience, and how it relates to their personal values. Add in sustainability and health/wellness and it makes it compelling to feature the best of what FreshDirect offers.

Q: What does working at FD allow you to do in your personal life?
A: Work-life balance has been great! Having the flexibility to travel and pursue hobbies outside of work, including swing dancing.

Q: What's a goal or a dream that you have?
A: I have three. They are to (1) be the #1 grocer in the Tri-State area and beyond, to (2) grow within the Ahold Delhaize organization, and (3) buy a house in Manhattan, raise a family, and travel more. Oh, and join the Peace Corps once I retire!

Q: What's your favorite part about working at FreshDirect?
A: The product, the people, and their passion! I’ve met amazing people at FreshDirect and look forward to working with as many of my coworkers as possible.

*FreshDirect is not a university, however there's much to learn from working here.
