Chicken drumstick, baked/roasted, skin eaten, raw-prepared calories: 114 per 1 medium drumstick (60 g)
This exact USDA record reports 114 calories for 1 medium drumstick (60 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 114 calories for 1 medium drumstick at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 190 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13.9 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 212 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, broilers or fryers, drumstick, meat and skin, cooked, roasted, representing 99.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 medium drumstick at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 54–257 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706002: “Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2706002, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, cooked” through “1 cup, cooked, diced” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz, cookedUSDA-listed household measure | 28.4 g | 54 kcal | 6.6 g | 0 g | 100 mg |
| 1 medium drumstickUSDA-listed household measure | 60 g | 114 kcal | 13.9 g | 0 g | 212 mg |
| 1 cup, cooked, dicedUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 257 kcal | 31.3 g | 0 g | 477 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Chicken, whole pieces
The comparison set contains 125 exact records in the Chicken, whole pieces USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706002’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706002’s 60 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium212 mg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.6 g
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706003 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz, cooked to 1 cup, cooked, diced
USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 54 kcal to 257 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706003
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.4 g more total fat than “Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken, broilers or fryers, drumstick, meat and skin, cooked, roasted
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Chicken, broilers or fryers, drumstick, meat and skin, cooked, roasted supplies 99.4% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “baked; broiled; or roasted; skin eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2706003 when “baked; broiled; or roasted; skin not eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Listed only in the comparison: Chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, drumstick, meat only, cooked, roasted.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium drumstick (60 g).

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
cut and fat trim
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
cooking method
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
- 04
breading, marinade, or sauce
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706002 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 190 kcal per 100 g becomes 114 kcal at 60 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 medium drumstick has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706002
FNDDS food code: 24142300
The scaling for FDC 2706002 can be exact while the match to “Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
