What is Boiled chicken drumstick with bone?

Boiled chicken drumstick with bone is a bone-in leg portion gently cooked in water, sometimes with salt, onion or herbs. The cooking liquid can be kept for broth, while the meat is served on its own or pulled from the bone for other dishes.

The meat is tender and moist, and the bone gives the broth extra savoury flavour. It is at home in simple meals and soups, and pairs well with rice, potatoes or vegetables; in Turkey, boiled chicken is also commonly shredded into soup or served over pilaf. It is protein-rich, with 20.8 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter meal, remove the skin and serve it with plenty of vegetables.
