Chicken drumsticks baked are a flavorful and popular dish enjoyed in cuisines worldwide. Typically prepared by seasoning the drumsticks with a blend of spices or marinades, common ingredients include garlic, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The drumsticks are then oven-baked, resulting in tender meat with a crispy outer skin. Originating as a versatile preparation method, baked chicken drumsticks have become a staple in American, Mediterranean, and global home cooking. This dish is a lean protein source when the skin is removed, offering essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and zinc. Baking instead of frying reduces the overall fat content, making it a healthier choice. However, keeping the skin increases saturated fat, and heavy use of salt or sugary marinades may add unwanted sodium and calories. Pairing baked drumsticks with vegetables or whole grains can create a balanced and wholesome meal suitable for many diets.
