I love a good chicken leg recipe. No one ever said you have to pay a lot to eat well. This is homestyle Cajun comfort food, easily made in the slow cooker. It's not that much different from my chicken gumbo the way I learned, except this is thicker, and has no okra or gumbo file.

This dish was delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned tomatoes. I would recommend using fresh tomatoes if you can find them.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding more liquid to the crockpot next time.
