Mock Chicken Legs
Mock Chicken is made from ground pork and ground veal that is formed onto a popsicle stick, coated with cornflake crumbs, browned and baked in the oven. We found this to be absolutely delicious!
Adapted from Jeanne Herda
Using a food processor or equivalent,
pulse the cornflakes into crumbs.
In a large bowl add one egg, 1/2 cup
of cornflake crumbs, 1/4 cup
of milk, salt and pepper.
Stir well to combine.
Add both of the ground meat
and mix well with your hands.
Place waxed paper on a large baking
sheet. Form about 1/4 cup of the meat
onto a popsicle stick, in a log form and
about 3″ long, then lay the leg on the
waxed paper.
Cover with another sheet of waxed
paper and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together
one egg and 1/4 cup milk.
Pour the remaining cornflake crumbs
into a shallow bowl and roll each leg
into the crumbs, pressing the crumbs
into the meat, slightly, with your hands.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into
a shallow bowl. Roll the crumb
coated leg into the egg mixture.
Roll the legs back into the cornflake
crumbs a second time.
Place the legs onto a large, waxed
covered, baking sheet. Let legs
sit for 5 minutes.
Spray a large baking dish, such
as a 9″ x 13″, with cooking oil.
In a large skillet, heat about 1/4″ oil to
375 degrees. Add the legs a few at a
time, cooking for 1 minute on each
side or until golden brown.
Remove legs and place on paper
towels to remove excess oil.
Arrange the legs on a large ungreased
baking sheet. Bake in a preheated
375 degree oven or until the internal
temperature is 165 degrees and no
pink remains, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Excellent post but reminds me of when I wear shorts… I’m mocked for my chicken legs lol.
🤣😂🤣 Thank you!
This seems interesting and fun! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks it takes a bit of time to make but so worth it.
An interesting recipe. It would be good for a buffet. I wonder if you could substitute ground chicken for the veal.
It would definitely work but the taste will be different and maybe a little dryer. It is worth a try Bernadette.
These look so so delicious! I did think they were drumsticks at first!
Years ago we bought Mock Chicken Legs at a grocery store and we loved them. We loved these just as much. Thanks Ab!
I’m thinking my grandkids might love these? Thanks Diane, hugs, C

This looks like something fun to make and eat … better than having to stuff that chicken. 🙂
It really was a fun one but time consuming. The grandkids loved it too. I want to try it again and make it into a meatloaf and see how it turns out. Thank you Linda ❤️
