drumsticks

Poultry legs, alternatively

Drumsticks are sticks used to strike drums and cymbals, typically wooden with a rounded tip.

The word also refers to the lower leg of a chicken or turkey, shaped like a club—the dark meat portion often eaten by hand: The kids always fight over the drumsticks at Thanksgiving.
