About Fast Foods, Fried Chicken, Drumstick, meat and skin with breading
The drumstick is the handheld, kid-friendly piece of fried chicken — dark leg meat on the bone, eaten with its crispy skin and seasoned breading. It sits between the leaner breast and the fattier thigh and wing in richness.
Per 100 grams it provides about 267 calories, with a strong 21.1 grams of protein and 16.9 grams of fat. Carbohydrate is about 7.6 grams from the breading, with little sugar. Cholesterol is around 111 milligrams, and sodium is high at about 591 milligrams per 100 grams. Because a drumstick has a fair amount of bone, the edible meat per piece is smaller than the weight suggests.
Drumsticks deliver good protein and are a little leaner than thighs or wings, but the fried breading still adds plenty of fat and salt. Removing the skin and breading lightens them considerably, and treating fried chicken as an occasional choice — with vegetables on the side instead of fries — keeps the overall meal in better balance.
