Tandoori Chicken Legs. Ingredients for Cooking. 12 chicken drumsticks, without skin 3 tbsp tandoori paste or tandoori powder 3 tsp ginger-garlic paste ...

There you have it.

Thanks, Helmi! But drumsticks are just the lower leg - from the knee down - aren't they? (Chickens have knees, yes?)
Oh well, but if the name of the dish uses "Chicken Legs" then I guess I can too...

Maria: related discussion: Hühnerschenkel / Hühnerkeule
. . .

I think your original impulse was better. 'Legs' to me sounds like they're still on the chicken, running around out there in the barnyard.

If you need another option for both a thigh and a drumstick served together as one piece, what about just something like 'section'?

Does 'quarter' have some specific other meaning that would rule it out?

Oops, sorry, just noticed after pressing Send that you said they were separated. In that case, thighs and drumsticks.

@ hm -- us, yes those cuts are called chicken leg quarters (at least in my local meat department) and nobody would use those in a restaurant.

@Daddy: That's why I didn't find anything in Leo- I only looked for Hühnchen- and Hähnchenkeulen, not Hühner (and not Schenkel)! Thanks.

@Helmi: Once I followed the link, I noticed when the page opened that "Chicken Legs" sounded funny in a recipe. Kinda like hm - us says.
Another cute thing in the recipe: "You can also use small boneless pieces of chicken and push them through skewers to make 'chicken tikka'."
Push them through skewers? Might be easier the other way around...
Many thanks to you all...
"...and to all a good night!" :)
