I recently purchased Safeway Young Chicken legs at my local major chain supermarket. Bulk pack of 14 or so. They're really large. They don't cook up as well as smaller drumbsticks.
A lot more sinew/fat or whatever too.
They were out of the better company that sells legs in just 6 packs. That brand (Foster Farms) seems to not let the chickens grow to gargantuan size.
I'm just saying, the bulk pack looked more like young turkey legs, not young chicken drumbsticks. Didn't used to be like that.
A sign of the times? I think they're "beefing" them up, so to speak. The meat isn't as tender, doesn't cook as well. They're too big.
