Ingredients

  

• 2-3 lbs. of skinless chicken legs
• 1/2 stick of butter melted
• 1-2 cups of herb stuffing mix crushed
• 1/2 cup of fresh italian parsley chopped
• 4 oz. of grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp. of garlic powder
• salt & pepper

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 375
2. melt butter in a shallow bowl
3. crush the herb stuffing mix if it’s in cubes (i used the classic Pepperidge Farm stuffing so it had less to crush)
4. in a shallow dish add herbed stuffing mix, parmesan, fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt & pepper
5. dip the chicken in the butter so it’s well-coated
6. coat the chicken in the stuffing mixture
7. lay the chicken in a baking dish and arrange them so they don’t touch one another
8. Bake uncovered at 375 for about 45-55 minutes or until cooked through

Notes

• Chicken Drumsticks: Use chicken drumsticks, thighs, and/or bone-in breast. Whether you use one or all of the options, ask the butcher to remove the skin off the chicken.

• Cookware: You’ll need a 9×13 baking dish. Here is my favorite; I use for EVERYTHING: https://amzn.to/3lDYGTn

• Baking Dish: Grease the dish with real butter; this adds a little extra delicious flavor. You can also use a nonstick spray in place of the butter.
