Roasted drumstick is a flavorful and tender chicken dish commonly found in global cuisines, from American barbecues to Indian tandoori recipes. Prepared by cooking the drumstick part of the chicken at high heat, often with a variety of seasonings or marinades, this dish offers a balance of protein and rich taste. Typically seasoned with herbs, spices, garlic, or citrus, roasted drumsticks can be customized to fit different culinary preferences. Nutritionally, they are an excellent source of lean protein, vital for muscle repair and growth, and provide essential vitamins like B12 and minerals like zinc and iron. However, the healthfulness depends on preparation methods; skin-on versions and those cooked with heavy oils or sugary marinades may increase saturated fat and calorie content. Opting for skinless drumsticks and light seasonings can make this dish both nutritious and satisfying.
