how long boil chicken drumsticks
Chicken Boil Basics. Large chicken legs should be boiled for 35 to 40 minutes before checking if they're cooked through. Chicken legs vary in size greatly and you should always base chicken's doneness on checking either the internal temperature of a leg using a kitchen thermometer or ensuring that its juices run clear. Chicken will register at 165 degrees Fahrenheit at the thickest point when cooked.
