How to Make Old Bay Chicken Legs in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Whether it is too hot outside to grill to light the grill, too cold to be outside grilling or you just do not want to grill, these Old Bay Crock Pot Chicken Legs are going to be your go-to recipe for chicken legs. This recipe is so incredibly easy to make, and it has amazing flavor.
If you check out Cris’ post of this recipe, you will see that she used 12 chicken legs, but I only use 10. The reason for this is not that I did not want a full dozen chicken legs. It is just that my store only had packages with 10 in them. The seasoning still worked really well, so it is completely fine to make this with either 10 or 12 chicken legs, whatever you have available to you.
