Looking for a different way to do drumsticks? A friend shared this recipe with me. The drums are simmered in barbecue sauce and then wrapped in crescent roll dough that's sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. -Paula Plating, Colorado Springs, Colorado

I use 4 boneless thighs instead of the drumsticks and separate the dough into 4 rectangles. I also leave out the butter to make it a tad healthier. This is one of my favorite recipes! Yes

I make this recipe with boneless skinless thighs. The taste is wonderful!

I thought my kids would love this dish because they love bbq chicken and they love anything to do with crescent rolls. Sadly, they didn't care for them at all and I ended up having to throw them out. Maybe if I tried what HeidiLSB's advice and dice the chicken up and then wrap it, it would go over better. I'll have to give it a try.

I've made this 3 times now, for different occasions. This works well if you dice up boneless/skinless chicken and wrap it, too. Found this out when some chicken fell off the bone: I just wrapped it up and it made it just as good, but a different presentation.

This is AWESOME! Very easy to prepare and tastes great. My mom called it 'Poor Man's Chicken Wellington!' Don't worry what the crescent roll seam side looks like (as I was) - when it bakes, they come out perfectly. I can see myself making this for a crowd in the future! Thanks!
