STUFFED CHICKEN LEG WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a medium-high frying pan, cook sausage, stirring to break apart. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
• In a bowl, mix together sausage, apple, thyme, and breadcrumbs. Salt the stuffing to taste.
• Stuff the chicken quarters and secure with toothpicks. Brush chicken with olive oil. Bake until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is browned, about 45 minutes. If the chicken is cooked through but not as brown as you'd like, put it under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp the skin. Keep your eye on it though because it can happen quickly.
