Chicken drumsticks FAQ
Are chicken drumsticks high in cholesterol?
Yes, chicken drumsticks with skin are high in cholesterol. One chicken drumstick with skin contains around 81 mg of cholesterol, which is approximately 27% of the recommended daily intake of 300 mg for healthy individuals. However, if you’re at risk of heart disease, the American Heart Association advises restricting cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg a day, which would be even greater than 30% of your daily limit in one drumstick. Therefore, chicken drumsticks should be consumed in moderation for those watching their dietary cholesterol levels.
