“I love eating chicken with my bare hands. It makes me want to snarl at people, even more than usual.”
— Jeri Smith
A chicken doesn’t have the magnificence of the bald eagle, the historical significance of the turkey, the mystery of the raven, or royalty of the falcon, but we sure have a lot of goofy songs, dances, poems, puns, and sayings about chickens. Chicken is a bird no one takes seriously ‘till it’s time to cook ‘em, and if you’re serious about your chicken dinner, follow this recipe for drumsticks that have juicy sweet, and tender meat inside and a crispy and caramelized skin on the outside.
