Thanksgivin’ Chicken
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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375
- melt butter in a shallow bowl
- crush the herb stuffing mix if it’s in cubes (i used the classic Pepperidge Farm stuffing so it had less to crush)
- in a shallow dish add herbed stuffing mix, parmesan, fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt & pepper
- dip the chicken in the butter so it’s well-coated
- coat the chicken in the stuffing mixture
- lay the chicken in a baking dish and arrange them so they don’t touch one another
- 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.
