Key characteristics of chicken drumsticks:

• Flavour: Chicken drumsticks are prized for their robust and savory flavour. The higher fat content enhances their taste, making them a favourite among many poultry lovers.
• Texture: The meat is tender and juicy, with a slightly firmer texture compared to chicken breasts. When cooked properly, the skin can become crispy, adding a delightful contrast to the succulent meat.
• Bone-In: Drumsticks are always bone-in, which not only adds to their flavour during cooking but also makes them fun to eat. The bone helps keep the meat moist and adds depth to the overall flavour.

Cooking tips- Generously season the drumsticks with salt, pepper, and your favourite spices or herbs. This ensures that the flavour penetrates the meat.  Marinating chicken drumsticks for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavour) can add depth and moisture. Use marinades with acidic components like lemon juice or yogurt to help tenderize the meat.  During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the drumsticks with a glaze or sauce (like barbecue or honey mustard) to add extra flavour and a shiny finish. Always cook chicken to an internal temperature of 74°C to ensure it is safe to eat and let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring maximum juiciness.

Pairing suggestions- Chicken drumsticks go perfectly with so many sides such as roasted potatoes and vegetables or even mac and cheese. During the summer months why not try a caprese salad as the perfect accompaniment. A crisp white wine like  Sauvignon Blanc or a rich Chardonnay or even a light refreshing rosé.
