Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery; saute 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender.

Remove from heat and add stuffing mixes and chicken broth. Stir until all stuffing is moistened; set aside.

In small bowl, combine vegetable oil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix well then brush evenly over drumsticks.
