The leg that beat the wing in the great chicken popularity war.
means The lower leg portion of a cooked fowl, especially chicken or turkey; or a stick used to strike a drum.
from A transparent compound of 'drum' and 'stick.' The percussion meaning came first, in the 16th century — literally the stick that beats the drum. The poultry sense is a later, jokey borrowing (by the 18th century), naming the bird's leg after the object it resembles: a meaty knob on the end of a slender shaft, like a padded mallet ready to strike.
