What's the difference between chicken legs and chicken drumsticks?

It depends! The terms are used pretty interchangeably, but sometimes they can refer to two different cuts of chicken. Sometimes, "chicken legs" can mean just the chicken drumstick, but sometimes, you'll also see chicken thighs and drumsticks together sold under the name "chicken legs" or "chicken quarters". For this recipe, we tend to rely on using just chicken drumsticks, but it'll also work great with chicken quarters (the leg and the thigh). So use whatever you can easily get!
