DELICIOUS BAKED CHICKEN KIEV
This is the BEST! I was raised on this, and it is the best chicken Kiev you'll ever have. After you make it a few times it's a snap. I do this by memory. You can adjust the flavors to taste. This recipe tastes great as leftovers also!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the butter, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Spread the butter mixture 1/2 inch thick onto a piece of aluminum foil, and place in the freezer to harden.
- Place the cereal in a large plastic resealable bag, and crush with a rolling pin. Add the remaining parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, paprika and salt, seal the bag, and shake to mix.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Remove the slab of butter mixture from the freezer, and slice into 6 strips. Place one strip onto the center of each pounded chicken breast, roll up and secure with toothpicks. Dip rolled chicken breasts into buttermilk, then into the cereal mixture. Place coated breasts into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes until chicken is no longer pink, and the juices run clear. The outside should be crispy and golden.

DELICIOUS BAKED CHICKEN
Very moist chicken. Serve with a cheesy side if desired. Being from the South, I serve this with garlic cheese grits! (Note: For a slight variation in taste, you can use lemon flavored oil.)

DELICIOUS OVEN-BAKED CRANBERRY BARBECUE CHICKEN (OR TURKEY LEGS)
This is SOOOO good! You can double the complete recipe and bake in a roaster pan, throw in a chopped green bell pepper and/or a jalapeno pepper also if desired! Four small turkey legs can be used in place of the chicken, if using larger turkey legs then double the cranberry sauce and BBQ sauce, also the cooking time will need to be increased.

Steps:
- Place chicken in a shallow casserole dish or baking pan.
- Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken pieces.
- Bake uncovered in 400F oven for 50-60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken that weighs between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
- Prep the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat or skin.
- Season the chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a marinade or rub to the chicken for extra flavor.
- Roast the chicken: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
