Chicken wings tend to steal the spotlight from chicken drumsticks, but here at Delish, we think it's time that drumsticks get the attention they deserve. Chicken drumsticks are often a cheaper alternative to wings, with a lot more meat than their winged counterparts. They even taste just as tender and meaty in our recipes for Buffalo chicken drumsticks and air-fryer BBQ chicken drumsticks, and will impress everyone on game day.

What is a chicken drumstick, anyway? Drumsticks are located in the lower part of the chicken leg, which consists of the chicken thigh and drumstick; try our maple mustard chicken legs, and you'll get both! If you've ever made a whole roasted chicken before, you've likely realized just how delicious drumsticks can be (and maybe even fought over them). Thankfully, you don't have to fight over them when you make a batch of our sticky grilled chicken, Crock Pot chicken drumsticks, and air-fryer drumsticks.

Drumsticks are a classic cut for so many classic regional dishes too. They add tons of richness and meatiness to jerk chicken, five-spice roast chicken, and chicken adobo. Thai khao soi stars chicken drumsticks in the rich, savory coconut-milk based noodle soup that's sure to become a weeknight staple.
