Yes, you can subsitute the meat from chicken drumsticks in recipes that call for boneless, skinless chicken. Usually those recipes are referring to breast meat rather than any other part of the chicken.





Like someone else already said, stripping the meat from thighs would be a lot easier than doing the same with drumsticks. Of course, if you already have the drumsticks, go for it.





One thing that you may want to do is to slightly reduce the amount of fat that the recipe calls for as dark meat has more saturated fat than white meat. You may also be surprised to find that other than the fat difference, dark meat has more vitamins, zinc and omegas 3 %26amp; 6!Can you substitute the meat from chicken drumsticks for recipes that call for boneless skinless chicken?
yes, you could but its a lot of work because of all the tendons in the drumstick. You'd be better with thighs than drumsticks. if you cook the drumsticks, skinned then remove the meat from the bone for your recipe you could do it but it still takes a lot of work.
Of course, its just a preference of white or dark meat. The drumsticks have dark meat, whereas the breast has white meat. If you have enough meat from the drumsticks, go for it!
that is just fine....i do it all the time as drumsticks are about 1/3rd the price of Breasts and I live on a Govt. pension so I gotta take the cheapest option
its perfectly fine in a pasta recipe i do it all the time
