List of Ingredients



• 1 Recipe Dirty Rice -- see recipe
  
• 8 Large Chicken Legs -- Boned
  
• 1/4 Teaspoon Salt -- to taste
  
• 1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper -- to taste
  
• 1/4 Teaspoon Creole Seasoning
  
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
  
• ---------------- Dirty Rice----------------------
  
• 3/4 Pound chicken gizzards
  
• 1 Pound Pork Sausage -- ground
  
• 1 large onion -- chopped
  
• 4 stalks celery -- chopped
  
• 1 Whole bell pepper -- chopped
  
• 1 bunch Green Onions -- chopped with tops
  
• 2 cloves garlic -- minced
  
• 2 cups rice
  
• 4 cups Water -- use the water you cooked the gizzards in
  
• Cajun Seasoning to Taste
  






Instructions



1. For the Dirty Rice--
   Boil the gizzards 20 minutes. Chop fine or grind
   
2. Saute all ingredients except rice and water in a large frying pan.Cook, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
   
3. Add the rice and water. Cook at a simmer, covered, about 25 minutes more or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
   
4. For the Chicken Legs--Prepare Dirty Rice according to recipe, let rice cool to room temperature.
   
5. Using a sharp boning knife, begin at the thigh end of the leg, cutting around the bone and scraping the meat loose from the bone as you go and pulling the meat down the bone. You will end up with a wrong side out chicken leg. Cut out the long tendons and clip them off with kitchen shears. Then with a cleaver or hack saw cut the bone off, leaving just the knob in the foot end of the leg. Now you have a boneless chicken leg. Repeat with all the legs.
   
6. Stuff each leg with Dirty Rice mixture, Be sure to stuff filling down into the small end, so they will stand up. Do not over fill as stuffing will expand some during cooking. Brush outside of legs lightly with melted butter and season with salt and pepper and creole seasoning. Stand legs up on baking sheet and bake in 375 F degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
