You've never had chicken legs and stuffing like this before. Stuffed Chicken Legs are made with your favorite boxed stuffing and a package of drumsticks. You can have a fancy dinner that feeds several mouths for cheap.

– Brush with olive oil.
– Sprinkle the seasoning over the top of the chicken legs and then rub around to evenly coat.

– Lift the skin of the chicken legs and stuff them with your cooled-to-the-touch stuffing.
