Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks
Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks are versatile cuts used worldwide in roasting, grilling and braising — popular in cuisines from American barbecue to Mediterranean and Asian dishes. They are prized for their rich flavor and tender texture that holds up well to long cooking. As a source of animal protein, Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks provide about 16g of protein per 100g and are more calorically dense than lean white meat because of their higher fat content; they also supply B vitamins (notably niacin) and selenium. From a nutrition perspective they deliver a complete amino acid profile and are satisfying in meals, while being a convenient way to add essential micronutrients; choosing skinless cuts or trimming visible fat will lower saturated fat and calories if desired.
