Peel back the skin from one side (keep the other side of skin attached) of the chicken and scoop in big heaping spoonfuls of stuffing on the chicken thigh. This amount of stuffing will work for 6 chicken thighs, too. They will just be a little less puffy! Then, fold the skin back over the stuffing.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F. for 50 minutes - 60 minutes. Or until the skin is nice and crispy and the chicken is cooked through.

A nice family garden salad would be a great vegetable side for this to round out the meal.
