Time:

Total: 75 minutes
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 60 minutes
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

6 to 8 whole chicken leg quarters (chicken legs with thighs)
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups sour cream (light if desired)
2 cups finely crushed cereal flakes
1 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick foil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Remove excess fat from the chicken legs and remove the skin, if desired.
Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Generously coat the chicken legs with the sour cream.
Put crushed cereal flake crumbs in a pie plate or shallow wide bowl.
Add the Cajun or Creole seasoning and parsley to the cereal crumbs.
Dip the coated chicken pieces in the seasoned crumbs.
Place coated chicken in the prepared baking dish.

Cooking:

Drizzle the chicken pieces with melted butter.
Bake for about 1 hour or until the meat registers at least 165°F, the minimum safe temperature for chicken.
Use an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken (not touching bone) to be sure it's thoroughly cooked.
