Reviews
This is delicious. Made it last night and it is a nice change. We love old bay on shrimp so trying it on chicken was a no brainer. Certainly did not disappoint. I did leave out the cayenne though because I don’t have a high tolerance for heat and I find old bay a bit spicy. I highly recommend it.
