Chicken drumsticks are the lower part of the chicken leg, featuring dark meat that’s naturally juicier and more flavorful than white meat cuts. With a convenient bone-in handle and tender, rich meat, drumsticks are a family favorite for everything from weeknight dinners to backyard barbecues.
They’re incredibly versatile—delicious when baked, grilled, fried, or braised—and pair well with virtually any seasoning or sauce, from classic BBQ to spicy buffalo, honey garlic, or simple salt and pepper.
