Cornish hen drumsticks are a flavorful poultry option prized for their tender, juicy meat and smaller size compared to traditional chicken. Originating from a hybrid breed popularized in the mid-20th century, Cornish hens are often associated with Western cuisine but are versatile enough for a variety of culinary styles, including Mediterranean, Asian, and American recipes. A typical drumstick contains protein, essential vitamins like B6, and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium, which support energy metabolism and immune health. Additionally, it's lower in fat compared to other cuts of meat, making it a leaner protein choice. However, the skin can increase the fat and calorie content, so removing it can make it a healthier dish. Cornish hen drumsticks are ideal for grilling, roasting, or baking, delivering robust flavor in a smaller portion size tailored for individual servings or gourmet presentations.
