About Perna de frango
Perna de Frango, or chicken drumstick, is a flavorful and versatile protein commonly found in Brazilian cuisine and other culinary traditions worldwide. It consists of a portion of the chicken leg, rich in savory, tender meat and encased in skin that can be baked, grilled, or fried to a crisp. This cut is packed with essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins B6 and B12, and minerals like phosphorus and zinc, which support muscle growth and overall health. While its lean meat makes it a wholesome option, the skin contains higher amounts of fat and cholesterol, particularly when fried or prepared with heavy oils. Opting for skinless or lightly seasoned drumsticks can help reduce calorie and fat intake. Perna de Frango is celebrated for its versatility, lending itself to marinades and sauces that enhance its nutritional value while offering a satisfying and hearty addition to meals.
