Nothing beats a tray of golden, sticky chicken drumsticks. Bone-in and skin-on for maximum flavour, these butcher-selected legs deliver crisp skin, tender meat and that nostalgic, finger-licking goodness. They love a marinade, stand up to strong spices, and cook beautifully in the oven, on the BBQ, or in the air fryer.
Whether it’s a midweek traybake or a weekend grill, drumsticks are reliable, forgiving and fantastic value. Season, roast until the skin crackles, and serve with simple sides—or go saucy with your favourite glaze.
