What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 4 named USDA records in view: 4 direct matches. All sit within “Chicken, whole pieces.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first two description segments” placed these 4 records together under the exact grouping key “chicken drumstick baked or broiled.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin, this page can compare 4 named records from FDC 2706006 through FDC 2706005. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

50–60 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.2× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

38 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from fast food / restaurant”; the higher is “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

115 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked” (392 mg) and “baked or broiled, …, from fast food / restaurant” (507 mg).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin.

Important: “Lower” begins with Chicken drumstick, baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from fast food / restaurant; “higher” ends with Chicken drumstick, baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 50 to 60 grams—a 10-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 84 calories for “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from fast food / restaurant” to 124 for “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked.” At a fixed 100 grams, “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from fast food / restaurant” is 168 calories and “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked” is 206—a fixed-weight separation of 38 calories. For Chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from fast food / restaurant”, “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked”, “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from fast food / restaurant”, and “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked”. The source formulations contain 6 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include salt, table, vegetable oil, nfs, chicken, broiler, rotisserie, bbq, drumstick, meat and skin, and chicken, broiler, rotisserie, bbq, drumstick, meat only. On this Chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin” cannot resolve the differences between Chicken drumstick, baked or broiled, skin eaten, from fast food / restaurant and Chicken drumstick, baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 50–60 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from fast food / restaurant”, “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked”, “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from fast food / restaurant”, and “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    6 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Chicken drumstick, …, skin eaten, from fast food / restaurant” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“baked or broiled, skin eaten, from fast food / restaurant”, “baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked”, “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from fast food / restaurant”, and “baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Chicken drumstick baked or broiled skin source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.
