About Chicken drumstick with gravy

Chicken Drumstick with Gravy is a hearty dish popular in various cuisines, particularly American comfort food and British-style dining. The dish features tender, bone-in chicken drumsticks cooked by roasting, frying, or braising until flavorful and juicy. They are paired with a rich, savory gravy made from chicken drippings, flour, butter, and seasoning, sometimes enhanced with herbs, garlic, or onions for extra depth. Chicken drumsticks are a good source of protein and essential nutrients like selenium and B vitamins. However, the skin and preparation method can affect the health profile; frying or adding excess butter to the gravy may increase calorie and fat content. Opting to bake the chicken and prepare a lighter, broth-based gravy can make this dish more heart-healthy while maintaining its comforting appeal. This versatile meal pairs well with vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a balanced plate.
