Raw chicken drumettes are the smaller portion of chicken wings, often separated from the wingette at the joint. These cuts are versatile and commonly used in a variety of cuisines, including American, Korean, and Mediterranean dishes, particularly in appetizers, barbecues, and fried chicken recipes. High in protein, drumettes provide essential amino acids that support muscle growth and repair. They also contain some vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and zinc, important for energy metabolism and immune function. However, raw drumettes are high in cholesterol and fat, especially if the skin is left intact. Proper cooking methods, such as baking or grilling, can reduce fat content while retaining flavor. Handling raw drumettes safely is essential to prevent foodborne illnesses; they should be refrigerated correctly and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. As a flavorful and protein-rich option, they’re a staple for many hearty meals.
