Start by making stuffing. To stuff the chicken legs, either slice a piece including the meat or gently lift the skin or place a couple of heaping spoonfuls of stuffing in the middle of the sliced meat or under the skin. Use a toothpick or two to secure the meat. Place the remaining stuffing in the bottom of the baking dish, and place the stuffed chicken pieces on top. Season with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil. Cover with foil and bake until cooked through.
