Chicken Drumsticks, Skin-On, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Chicken drumsticks are a dark meat cut from the lower portion of the chicken leg, typically cooked and served with the skin intact. The skin contributes a crispy texture and rich flavor when roasted, grilled, or fried, but adds significant saturated fat compared to skinless preparations. This protein-rich cut provides iron and zinc in higher amounts than white meat, though its calorie density increases with cooking methods that retain the skin and added oils.
