Description

Chicken legs include both the drumstick and the thigh. When these two chicken pieces are left together, they’re often called a leg quarter or sometimes a hindquarter. The leg quarter consists of two parts:
Drumstick: The lower part of the leg, which is flavorful and juicy. It’s perfect for smoking, barbecuing, or roasting. You can also slice it up for stir-fries.
Thigh: The upper part of the leg, known for its tenderness and rich flavor. Thighs can be bone-in or boneless, and they’re great for braising or roasting.
Dark meat from chicken legs has a bit more fat, which contributes to its deliciousness. Whether you’re grilling, baking, or sautéing, chicken legs are a budget-friendly way to enjoy poultry any night of the week!
