About Chicken drumstick with skin
Chicken drumstick with skin is a popular poultry cut widely enjoyed in cuisines around the world, from American BBQ to Asian stir-fries. Known for its juicy meat and rich flavor, the drumstick comes from the lower leg of the chicken, with the skin adding extra tenderness and a crispy texture when cooked. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of protein essential for muscle repair and growth, alongside vitamins such as B6 and B12, and vital minerals like phosphorus and selenium. However, the skin is higher in fat, especially saturated fat, which can contribute to a higher calorie count. When fried or heavily seasoned, drumsticks may also carry excess sodium. Cooking methods like grilling or baking can enhance flavor while minimizing added fats. Ideal in balanced diets, chicken drumsticks with skin offer versatility and satisfying taste, though mindful preparation is key for maintaining their health benefits.
