Ok, easy question here, A cooked and nibbled chicken drumstick, if dropped into water, does it float or sink? :-/
Its detached from the chicken naturally! :-?
-
A bit of a random question, without trying it (and wasting a perfectly good chicken drumstick) I would not want to speculate
-
I'm researching..... ::)
-
I'll let you know after my next bbq! ;)
-
I think a cooked one would float.

Thanks, that might be a while then judging by the present weather..! ;D

You said 'nibbled' - depends how nibbled and how much meat there is vs. bone I would imagine.
There's only one accurate answer without knowing the weight and volume of the object and that is - does it displace a greater weight (volume) of water than it's weight?
-
Seawater or fresh water?
Also how large is the drumstick? small, std or lge?
-
depends on the water content and the bone density and how badly its been cooked. if its done by my dad on the bbq then it will float as its mainly carbon :D ;D

Float
-
Fresh chicken or thawed cooked from frozen ? any coating -breadcrumbs, batter ?

Good question as I am sure I read somewhere that freezing affects the molecular density of bones and marrow. :y

how far above sea level are you and is the said drum stick from iceland or a farm shop,i would also be interested in if the drum stick is coated in a marinade of some sort and the type of marinade and from which manufacturer including the amount used per drum stick and please could you state which fuel was used to cook the drum stick,if lpg was it butane or propane and which size bottle or was it charcoal or possible electric,please state if the oven used was fan assisted or not.untill you give us all the information i am not passing verdict on the said matter as i dont want to be held legally responsible for any outcome :y
-
i say it would SINK!!! well did it, put me out my misery?? ;D ;D :D
-
Our chicken drumstick sank when dropped into Loch Tay last month :o :o ;D ;D
-
Okay, from the top; Oven cooked no coating, no scrub that, marinaded in BBQ sauce, standard size, bout 5inch? Half nibbled. Canal water roughly 800 ft above sea level.
I'm just off to Morr***ns to get some chicken legs.
I'll cook them tonight and pop down to the canal tomorrow. Its the only way really!! :-/

Free-range, yard reared, indoor with higher welfare, or intensively farmed ?
-
Intensively farmed probably!.
Anyway, three chicken legs marinaded, cooked, nibbled and ready to be dropped in the canal. . . later on today actually!
Watch this space. . . . . . :-?

URGENT NEWSFLASH...THIS JUST IN...
Okay, just arrived from the canal and my findings are as follows: all three chicken legs sank immediatly, however, the two roasted ones, (marinade made no difference) sank more slowly than the single leg wrapped in foil and boiled in water!
My conclusion to this is probably the amount of moisture left in the bone. Roasting will dry them out. These legs were cooked for one hour. Presumably, had they been cooked for longer they might have sunk more slowly still. :-/
Theoretically then a drumstick cooked for considerably longer might feasibly float after all...... :-?
Mmmmmm!
Anyway for my purpose the answer is sink! (that's through water, not the big shiny thing with taps in the kitchen!) ::)
And the reason for all this. . . . . one of the characters in my next book loses a chicken leg in the canal - and for some obscure reason - I thought it would float, therefore he could recover it. But it doesn't, so he can't. . . . . . . . . . . . .Sorry if this ia a bit weak after all the excitement... ;)
Oh, and there is a bloke on a narrowboat moored nearby who think's I'm raving mad. I tried to explain but he just shook his head and walked away . . .
:D

Well if he dropped it into a chicken casserole mix it would float, just in case the story took a strange ( stranger?) turn say passing a" casserole off " in the village square or summat :D

No surprise! i usually get these predictions right ;D :D ;D. Now going to move on to the lottery ;D ;D ;D

Good Luck with the Lottery and the drumstick was not wasted.......Mmmm N*ndo's sauce... ::)
