Cooking Time1 hr
Ingredients
- 1 full chicken leg per person, (thigh and drumstick, skin and back attached)
- 1 cup dry, fine bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 2 teaspoons dried mint
- 2 green onions, chopped fine
- 1 or more cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Thoroughly mix the seasonings with the bread crumbs. If the mixture is very dry, blend in about 1 tbs vegetable oil.
- Without removing it, carefully lift the skin and stuff the bread mixture between the skin and flesh. About 1 tbs of crumbs is about all that is needed for each; thigh, front and back of drumstick.
- Place the stuffed legs on an ovenproof tray and bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes to an hour. Serve hot for dinner or cold for a picnic.
