Chicken Legs Stuffed With Sausage, Panzanella And Sage

To love this God means, among many other things, that we will be hungry to get to know Him better; conversely, in learning His words and ways, His attributes and His glory, what He loves and what He hates, we will find that our understanding of what it means to love God, what it means to love enemies, what it means to love brothers and sisters in Christ, will all be progressively modified and enriched. Precisely because, as created, dependent, and redeemed creatures, we are called to love our Creator, our Sovereign, our Redeemer with heart and soul and strength and mind, we will be firmly led to think robustly about what He is like, how He views evil, what rights and responsibilities He gives to the state in a fallen world, His role both in making peace and in judgment, and, above all, His commitment to His own glory as God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Bake the sausage in the oven for 20
minutes. Remove, drain and cool.  In a large mixing bowl crumble the
cooked sausage to resemble the  texture of rough bread crumbs. Add the
panzanella and chopped sage,  toss well.  Place the chicken legs
skin-side down on a cutting board. Season with  salt and pepper. Divide
the sausage mixture among the chicken legs,  filling them as much as
possible. Fold the legs around the sausage  mixture and tie each into a
tight packet with butcher's string.  Place the legs in a small roasting
pan flap-side down. Roast in the  oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until
browned and crispy. Remove from the  oven and place on a serving
platter. Serve immediately.  Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From
