Notes
Don’t rush the searing step! Browning the chicken legs helps lock in flavor and gives a nice texture. You can add vegetables like carrots or potatoes to the slow cooker with the chicken for a complete meal. Adjust the spices to your taste; you can add more paprika for extra heat or try different herbs.
