What it is

Chicken leg quarters are a cut of chicken that includes the thigh and drumstick, still attached at the hip joint. They are a common and economical cut of chicken, often sold with the skin on and bone in. They are typically sold fresh or frozen.

Why it's used

Chicken leg quarters are primarily used as a source of protein in meals. They can be roasted, grilled, fried, or braised. They are found in a variety of prepared chicken dishes and meal kits.

Health notes

Chicken leg quarters are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers chicken a safe and wholesome food. Like all raw meats, proper handling and cooking are important to prevent foodborne illness. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen, but this classification applies to processed meats, not fresh poultry.

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
