Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Fried chicken drumsticks are safe with precautions during pregnancy if cooked thoroughly to 165°F at the thickest part near the bone. They supply complete protein, dietary zinc, and vitamin B12 to support immune function and blood volume expansion. Never eat undercooked poultry, as Salmonella bacteria pose severe risks of food poisoning during pregnancy. Complement your meal with steamed greens or a side salad rather than heavy fries.
