About Chicken, dark meat, drumstick, meat and skin, with added solution, raw
This poultry cut comes from the lower leg of the bird, including both the meat and skin, often enhanced with a solution to improve moisture and flavor. It's a good source of high-quality protein, providing about 18 grams per 100 grams, making it a solid option for muscle repair and maintenance. The fat content is moderate at 8.2 grams, with a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats, and the calorie count is relatively low at 146 calories per 100 grams. While it contains no carbohydrates or fiber, it does provide essential nutrients like B vitamins and minerals such as selenium and phosphorus, which support energy metabolism and immune function.
In the kitchen, this cut is versatile and flavorful, often favored for its juiciness and tenderness when cooked properly. It's commonly used in grilling, baking, roasting, or slow-cooking, and the added solution helps keep it moist during preparation. Many people enjoy it in hearty stews, barbecued dishes, or simply seasoned and roasted for a quick meal. Because it includes skin, it tends to be richer in flavor and fat than white meat, so those watching their fat intake may want to remove the skin before eating. Overall, it's a satisfying and nutrient-rich choice for a balanced diet when prepared with attention to cooking methods and portion sizes.
