I suspect that it would be useful to add some advice to this absolutely wonderful recipe: take the dietary legs from a good place, because this recipe cannot be done without skin, and the skin of large and not very farm-made legs can be very unappetizing, heavy and greasy - you can ruin this wonderful dish.
Olga, to be honest, I don’t know such a thick skin that wouldn’t bake and ruin this dish)) Another thing is that the substances in chicken bought in an untrusted place are not always safe, especially when heated. Therefore, yes, we approach the choice of meat responsibly))

Cooking step by step:
To prepare this simple and tasty dish, we will need the following ingredients: chicken drumsticks, hard or semi-hard cheese, champignons, onions, odorless vegetable oil, paprika, fresh dill or other favorite herbs, salt and ground black pepper.
First, let's prepare the filling. To do this, wash, dry and cut fresh champignons into small pieces. Of course, you can use frozen or canned (not pickled!) mushrooms, but I won’t tell you the exact weight.
Peel a medium-sized onion and cut into small cubes.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of refined vegetable oil (I use sunflower) into a frying pan, heat it and add mushrooms and onions. Fry over medium heat, stirring, until fully cooked.
Meanwhile, prepare the chicken legs. They need to be washed and dried. We take one chicken drumstick, carefully pull the skin off it towards the stump, place it on a cutting board and aim the knife at the narrowest part of the leg.
We chop the drumstick so as not to damage the chicken skin that remains on the stump. The second part of the workpiece is a bone with meat.
Remove the meat from the bone, removing the tendons. This is what the preparation for future stuffed legs should look like: a leather stocking with a stump, an almost clean bone (you can cook chicken broth) and a clean fillet. We cut the remaining 7 drumsticks in the same way. At first it will seem that the process is very long, but then everything will work out faster and faster. Important: You don't need all the chicken in this recipe, so use about a third and use the rest in other dishes or freeze it.
The mushrooms and onions just had time to fry - they were well browned and aromatic.
We cut any hard or semi-hard cheese into very small cubes or chop it on a coarse grater.
Finely chop the fresh herbs, and cut the chicken fillet (take only part) into small pieces.
Combine chicken fillet, fried champignons, chopped cheese, and herbs in a bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.

Stir and the filling for chicken drumsticks is ready.
How to stuff chicken legs? Easy and simple - fill them with filling as tightly as possible.
Then we take a thread (preferably dark in color, so that it is easier to remove later) and a needle, sew up the chicken skin, tightening it.
Place the stuffed chicken legs in a baking dish (or on a baking sheet) lined with baking paper (food foil).
Before baking, I advise you to grease the preparations with a mixture of vegetable oil and paprika - when finished, the stuffed drumsticks will turn out appetizing and rosy.
Cook chicken legs in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Before serving, don't forget to remove the threads - just pull one end and the whole thread will come off easily.
Serve chicken drumsticks stuffed with mushrooms and cheese hot with any side dish of your choice. Katyusha, thank you very much for this delicious order. Cook for your health, friends, and bon appetit!

Tips and tricks for cutting legs for stuffing
Many housewives refuse recipes for stuffed legs, considering the cutting process labor-intensive. The following tips will help simplify the process:
- It is easier to remove the skin from large or medium-sized shins with stockings.
- How to do it? From the top side, cut the skin in a circle, separating it from the meat. When the skin is freed by about 1 cm, you can bend it down, hook the edge, for example, with pliers, and carefully pull it with a “stocking” to the joint. All that remains is to cut the bone with a sharp knife so that only the edge of the joint remains.
- To remove the skin with a flap, you need to make a cut on the drumstick or on the leg in the area of the drumstick on the inside, and then pull off the skin.
- You can prepare the legs even faster if you reduce the cutting process to cutting out the bones without removing the skin.
