My 7 year old students were on a mission to make something Cajun yesterday. This meal is what they decided upon.

Spicy, crispy, juicy and flavorful would be four words I'd use to describe this dish. Excellent work kiddos! This was just simple Creole goodness! And, fantastic shortcuts!

Marinate your dethawed chicken legs for 3+ hours in the fridge. Flip and massage legs occasionally.

Heat your broth with your spices. Bring to a simmer. Mix well.
