About Leg quarters
Leg quarters are a popular cut of chicken comprising both the drumstick and thigh, making them a flavorful and versatile choice for meals. Known for their tender, juicy meat, they are a staple in many cuisines, including Southern barbecue, Asian stir-fries, and Mediterranean roasted dishes. This cut is rich in protein, essential for muscle health, and provides key nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Leg quarters also contain healthy fats that support brain and heart function, though their skin is higher in fat and calories, so removing it can make them leaner. They are often chosen for their affordability and ease of preparation, whether baked, grilled, or braised. While dark meat has slightly more fat than white meat, it also offers more robust flavor, making it an appealing and nutritious option when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
