So much so we have a whole library of Mississippi- style recipes:

So it wasn’t long before we tried it out with chicken legs since that is Miss Add’s very favorite. We LOVED it. And, when Miss Add and I were talking about her next Kids in the Kitchen segment on our YouTube Channel she insisted we share our “Mississippi” twist on Crock Pot Chicken Legs!

Crock Pot Chicken Legs {Mississippi Style} Notes

We like to use these liners for our cookie sheets.
As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
Some broilers also cook a lot hotter than others. Watch very closely so you do not burn your chicken.
