    CHEF'S KNIFE TIP: 

    When preparing the chicken drumsticks, use a sharp chef's knife to carefully trim any excess skin or fat from the drumsticks for a leaner result. Additionally, when checking for doneness, insert a sharp chef's knife into the thickest part of the drumstick. If the juices run clear and there is no pinkness, the chicken is cooked through and ready to be enjoyed.
