FAQ:
Q: Can I bake the stuffed chicken legs instead of frying them?
A: Yes, you can bake them! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the stuffed drumsticks for 30-40 minutes or until they are fully cooked and golden brown. You can spray them lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of drumsticks?
A: Absolutely! Chicken thighs would work just as well for this recipe. Just be sure to remove the bones and skin as you would with the drumsticks, and stuff them the same way.
This recipe combines the crispiness of breaded chicken with the softness of mashed potatoes for a comforting meal everyone will love! Enjoy!
