Make a circular cut through the meat around the edge of the bone on the chicken drumstick using a small sharp knife. Pull the meat down, using the knife to help cut and scrape the meat off the bone. At the base, chop through the bone with a heavy sharp knife. If desired, remove a little extra meat. Repeat the process with the remaining drumsticks. Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste.
