Chicken drumstick
A chicken drumstick is the lower leg section with one long bone, usually surrounded by skin and meat, commonly roasted, grilled, braised or fried.
About Chicken drumstick
A chicken drumstick is the lower section of the leg, below the knee joint, with a single long bone surrounded by meat and usually covered by skin unless trimmed. It is a distinct bone-in cut rather than the whole leg. Raw meat is pink and soft; cooked meat is darker and has a more substantial, fibrous texture than breast meat.
Drumsticks are commonly roasted, grilled, braised, or fried, and are sold fresh or frozen, skin-on or skinless. They may be sold individually or as part of a leg assortment. The amount of attached meat and skin varies with trimming, so the cut name does not alone describe the edible portion.
