I just made this tonight and it's absolutely WONDERFUL!! I, like most others, added my own love to it. I cut the fattest part of the chicken leg skin off the back of the leg but left most on. I put cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic grill shaker, and salt and pepper directly into the melted butter. I poured the butter/seasoning mixture on the plate the chicken legs were already on. I let them soak a few minutes while spooning mixture over top of legs and tried to get butter to go under skin and in meat. I rolled the legs in potatoes trying to keep the largest part of leg slightly upright so the butter would stay within the leg. A tad more seasoning on the top, then baked for 30 min. in foil lined pan on a baking rack. I was going to turn legs but turning makes the flakes come off. So I put the legs back in without turning. The chicken was moist, crispy, and delicious!! Tastes like fried, but without the guilt!

Tasty recipe. My cousin, such a finicky eater that I needed to abandon most of my recipes, ate 3 large legs! I'm giving this only a 3 as with butter the flakes didn't stick too well and it ended up crunchy in some parts and overly greasy in others. It also would have been a bit too bland had I not added salt and pepper to the flakes. I'm going to try this again someday with an egg instead and we'll see how it goes.

wow is the flavor good on these. I used one of those bags of potatoe flakes that you get for a buck each. It had great flavor so no need for salt. I did add parmesan cheese. I did think the temp was too high, so lowered it at the start.

I enjoyed this, but will not be making this again. Neither of my kids enjoyed it, they scraped off the toppings.

Very easy recipe. I used only 5 chicken legs and removed the skin. I noted from a previous review that the amount of butter and potato flakes was more than you need, so I melted a bit of butter at a time and brushed it on each leg instead of dipping (less waste). I also added salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper to the potato flakes. Baked for 30-40 minutes. Also lined my baking pan with foil and sprayed with Pam for easy clean up and removal. I turned the chicken once after 20 minutes to crisp both sides. The chicken turned out fantastic! My husband (the picky eater) had a second helping. Thanks for posting! I will definitely make this again.

Excellent with Idahoan flavored mashed potatoes. They are less flakey, more powdery, so they give a nice texture. I used loaded baked potato flavor.

This is either a hit or a miss kind of recipe. Unfortunately it was a miss for me. I added salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, and onion powder and it still didn't taste that great. Its hard to not burn the potato layer since I had huge chicken legs for this recipe. I don't think I would try this again.

Pretty good. I've made a few different kinds of oven baked chicken before and this is one of the better ones. Of course it's never as good as the real thing but you can't really expect it to be. Overall though if you add your favorite spices which is a must then this turns out to be very good. Both of my kids ate it which in my house is really saying something!

I have used this recipe several times and I love it! The first few times it was with the chicken legs, then I tried it with boneless skinless chicken breast halves and with thighs too. Then I went and got adventurous and bought a whole chicken and cut it up myself and used this recipe for all 8 pieces! I do add various seasonings to the potatoe flakes and sometimes I use egg instead of the melted butter, but those are all just personal prefferences. Thank you for sharing this meal idea with everyone!!

I thought it was very good, I only ate it as leftovers. My husband did not like all the butter. The kids ate it so that's always a bonus!

This is a great recipe. I have found it is best to use the flavored mashed potatoes. The four cheese Idahoan brand goes really well with this one. I also add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne to it to give it a little kick.

Tried this last night b/c I had all the ingredients in my house already. It was very tasty! Added some garlic powder to the mashed potatoes (which were seasoned only with butter), and it was very good. I recommend turning t he chicken pieces about halfway through so all sides can crisp up!

This chicken was pretty good! The only reason I didn't go with 5 starts was because I did add salt and pepper to the potato flakes (my only alteration) and without that, it would have been bland. Next time I may add a bit more seasonings too. This chicken comes out nice and crispy. I had the family pack of legs so I put 14 legs on one cookie sheet (and yes, there was enough butter and potato flakes to cover 14 legs with some to spare) and they were too crowded and didn't brown on the sides as much as I would have liked. My fault. Be sure to leave enough space between each leg so they can brown nicely. OH, AND BE SURE TO LINE YOUR COOKIE SHEET WITH FOIL FOR EASY CLEAN UP. That wasn't fun to was even though I used PAM. Thank, I will make again!!!
