Chicken drumsticks
Rich, savory dark meat, more forgiving and flavorful than white meat.
Lens analyzedChicken drumsticks are the lower leg portion of the chicken, dark meat still on the bone, prized for staying juicy through longer cooking methods like braising, grilling, or baking. Their bone-in structure makes them more forgiving of a few extra minutes in the oven than boneless cuts.
Where it comes from
Bone-in dark meat cuts like drumsticks have long been favored in cuisines that braise or slow-cook chicken, since the bone and connective tissue add flavor and the meat resists drying out the way lean breast meat can.
Buying it
Look for drumsticks with smooth, unbroken skin and a pinkish color, avoiding any with a grayish tint or a strong odor.
Storing it
Store the package on the bottom shelf where the fridge runs coldest, and cook or freeze the drumsticks within a few days of buying.
Keeps about 3 days in the fridge.
