About Chicken drum
Chicken drumsticks, often referred to as "chicken drums," are the lower part of the chicken leg. They are a popular protein choice in cuisines worldwide, ranging from American barbecue to Indian curries. Their dark meat is slightly fattier than chicken breast but provides richer flavor and tender texture. Nutritionally, chicken drumsticks are a good source of protein, essential for muscle building and repair, and contain vital nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, they can be high in saturated fat, especially if the skin is left on. Depending on preparation methods, such as deep-frying or adding heavy sauces, they can become less healthy. For a balanced option, baking or grilling with minimal oil is recommended. Chicken drumsticks are versatile, affordable, and widely enjoyed, making them a staple in many households while fitting various dietary needs when consumed in moderation.
