About Our Chicken Drumsticks
Drumsticks are the piece children reach for and adults quietly hope is left. They are dark meat on a single straight bone with the skin intact, which makes them cheap, forgiving, and built for eating with your hands. For a party, a picnic or a Friday night at home they are the most practical thing in this section.
The one thing to know about drumsticks is that they benefit from being cooked further than you would cook breast. Dark leg meat holds a lot of collagen; take it to 80C or so and that collagen softens, the meat loosens off the bone and the texture improves. This is why a drumstick that has been in the oven a bit long is still excellent.
They take marinade extremely well, especially anything with yoghurt, tomato or citrus in it, and the skin crisps hard under a grill. We sell them fresh daily. For a mixed platter, add wings and bone-in thighs, or take a whole leg quarter for more meat per piece.
How to Cook Chicken Drumsticks
- Slash each drumstick twice to the bone before marinating - it seasons all the way through.
- Oven: 200C for 35-40 minutes, turning once, until the skin is dark and tight.
- Charcoal: indirect heat for 20 minutes, then over the coals for colour.
- Aim past 74C - drumsticks are better around 80C when the collagen has softened.
- Marinades with yoghurt or tomato tenderise as well as flavour.
