Notes
Chicken drumsticks are chosen due to their tendon distribution for crunchiness. If you want all white meat, replace with 1 breast. For quicker and lesser prepare time, you could also substitute with boneless skinless chicken thighs or rib meat.Mini cucumbers/dill are prefer due to their lack of seed and fresh crunch taste/texture. If you use larger cucumber, remove seeds and slice them a bit thicker than you would for the mini one.Add onion for variationFinish with crushed peanut or sesame to enhance flavor
