Baked Chicken Leg Calories

Chicken legs or drumsticks are considered to be the more expensive part of a chicken. The main reason why they are so expensive is because of the quality of their texture which makes them extremely delicious and perfect for parties and dinner. Since chicken itself is white meat, you shouldn't need to worry much about baked chicken leg calories as long as you do not cover the drumsticks with excessive butter and cheese or season them with too much spices.

Below is a quick guide on how many calories are in a baked chicken leg:

• Chicken leg with skin, 68
• Chicken leg without skin, 48

Baking the chicken legs with the skin on is a great way to ensure that the inside of the drumsticks will be juicy and moist. Although chicken skins can be very delicious, it is highly advisable that you remove them before serving. This is especially important if you're on a low fat diet.
