About Chicken leg, drumstick and thigh
Chicken leg, drumstick and thigh describes the whole hind leg divided into its two principal sections: the lower drumstick and upper thigh. The cut is bone-in and commonly retains skin, though trimming can vary. The meat is darker and more fibrous than breast meat, with the thigh generally broader and the drumstick narrower around its long bone.
It is commonly roasted, grilled, braised, or fried, either as a combined leg portion or with the sections separated. It is sold fresh or frozen, and may be skin-on or skinless. The exact amount of meat, skin, and bone depends on preparation, so those details matter when comparing the edible portion.
