Incredibly Picky Eater with Her Finished Leg



Both Big C and Little C gobbled up their chicken legs and asked for seconds.  The hubs has always loved this recipe and asks for it at least monthly.  Some tips: 

1. Use bone in and skin on chicken in the crock pot it is so much more flavorful and doesn't get mushy (it falls off the bone but is not mushy)

2. Spray your crock pot with Pam or olive oil it can get sticky.

3. Freezer your leftover tomato paste in single tablespoon containers (ice trays for example).

4. Places like World Market or Winco have the best prices on spices.

Hope you enjoy!
