How can a chicken drumstick be white or dark meat?
The term, "drumette" can mean one of two things. The first kind of drumette is a small piece of chicken containing a bone - this actually is the larger section of a chicken wing, with the outer tip section removed. This is considered to be white meat. The second kind of drumette is a shaped piece of formed chicken meat that has been removed from the bone. A processor uses molds to shape the chicken pieces into a bite-sized morsel, after which they are usually breaded and fried (or prepared for frying) and packaged. This kind of drumette can contain either white or dark meat or a combination. It might tell you on the package. So - to recap - if it has a bone in it, it is part of a chicken wing, and is white meat. If it is boneless, it can be white, dark, or a combination.

Does white meat chicken have less fat than dark meat chicken?
White chicken meat (breast) is leaner, has more protein and less fat content than dark chicken meat. In essence it is a more healthful choice, although red chicken meat does have more iron. Still, the real question being asked here is about market pricing, which always comes back to supply and demand. Is the greater demand for white meat due to its being more healthful? This is undoubtedly a factor, but the average consumer is far more concerned with taste than healthful eating choices, so in all probability, there is more demand for white meat because people like it better. Also, there is less white meat than dark on a chicken, so less supply, although genetically modified chickens will probably soon have larger breasts, and/or white meat growing on parts of their bodies that were previously dark. Some day, meat will be grown through cell division in test tube conditions. At that time, supply will be controlled to exactly meet demand and the price of light and dark meat will be identical. And dark meat parts of the chicken contain a higher bone to meat ratio, making it less valuable, as you are paying for less meat per weight.
What part of the chicken is better for you white meat or dark meat?
Someone answered that dark meat chicken is not as good as white because it is higher in fat. Animal fat is a crucial staple of the diet and should not be dismissed because American social beliefs have been manipulated to lean towards "low-fat." I recommend chapters one through three in the book "Good Calorie, Bad Calorie" which cites multiple scientific and empirical studies over the past hundred years (often attempting to validate the benefits of low fat/low cholesterol) which disprove the hypothesis that fatty foods impact cholesterol, heart disease, and mortality rates. The hypothesis that lower fat white meat is better is disproved by hundreds of double blind clinical tests. Remember that one must seek to disprove, not confirm a guess about a subject.AnswerAlthough dark meat does have higher fat content than white meat, it has more vitamin B, iron and protein than white meat.
