(If you're working with just the drumstick, use the tip of your knife to cut through the meat on top of the bone. Cut around the bone at the thick part of the drumstick to expose the end. Then, hold the bone and scrape down with the base of your knife until you reach the end.)<\/p>\r\nUse a meat cleaver to cut off the bottom inch of the drumstick bone. The scraped bone inside will come free. If you don't have a cleaver, you can use the back of your knife to break the bone, leaving the drumstick tip attached to the meat.\r\n
