About Kfc drumsticks
KFC Drumsticks are a popular fast-food item inspired by Southern American cuisine. These crispy chicken drumsticks are marinated in a blend of 11 signature herbs and spices, then breaded and deep-fried to achieve their iconic golden, crunchy coating. Each drumstick delivers a savory, flavorful bite, combining tender dark meat with a seasoned crust. While they are high in protein, providing essential nutrients for muscle maintenance, they are also relatively high in calories, sodium, and fat due to the frying process. For a healthier alternative, consider pairing them with vegetables or opting for KFC’s grilled chicken options.
