Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs. of skinless chicken legs

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.
  • 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.
