Baked chicken drumsticks are a popular and versatile dish enjoyed in cuisines around the world. Prepared using whole chicken drumsticks, they are seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and olive oil, then baked to golden perfection. This cooking method keeps the meat juicy while reducing the fat content compared to frying. High in protein, baked drumsticks help support muscle development and provide essential nutrients like iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins. However, skin-on drumsticks contain more fat and cholesterol, which may be a concern if consumed in excess. Removing the skin can make them leaner and lower in saturated fat. Their savory flavor and satisfying texture make baked chicken drumsticks a wholesome and nutritious choice for family meals, often paired with roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.
