About Chicken leg quarter
A chicken leg quarter is a large hindquarter cut comprising the thigh and drumstick, generally with part of the back attached. It is usually bone-in and skin-on, although trimming varies. The meat is darker and more fibrous than breast meat, and the quarter includes both a broad thigh portion and a narrower drumstick portion.
Leg quarters are commonly roasted, grilled, or braised, and are sold fresh or frozen. The back portion, skin, and amount of trimming can differ among cuts, so the name does not guarantee identical proportions. It is a larger cut than a drumstick alone and is not equivalent to boneless leg meat.
