A chicken drumstick is a flavorful and protein-rich cut of meat from the leg of a chicken. Known for its tender, juicy texture, it is a popular ingredient in cuisines worldwide, including American barbecue, Asian stir-fries, and Mediterranean roasted dishes. Chicken drumsticks are a rich source of lean protein, essential for muscle maintenance and repair, and contain key vitamins and minerals like phosphorus, selenium, and B vitamins. When cooked with the skin on, they deliver added flavor but also increase calorie and fat content, including saturated fat. Removing the skin can make it a healthier option. The drumstick is versatile and can be baked, grilled, or fried, offering a satisfying balance of taste and nutrition. It pairs well with fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, making it a wholesome addition to various dishes when prepared with mindful cooking methods.
