Chicken Leg Meat

Comes from the entire leg portion of the chicken, which includes both the thigh and drumstick.

Characteristics:

• Deboned and skinless, though sometimes with skin.

• Considered dark meat, meaning it has more myoglobin, fat, and connective tissue compared to breast meat.

• Tender and succulent, less likely to dry out during cooking.
