This recipe was much better than I expected. Very flavorable and the blackeyed peas and rice make a good side dish for the chicken. I couldn't find Old Bay seasoning so I substituted a cumin based seasoning that I had on hand. The reciped turned out great. I would definately make this again. I also goes good with some califlower as a side dish if you want more veggies.

I thought this recipe was really good. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was and how much flavor it had. Plus it was really easy to pull together. I will definitely make this again because it felt like comfort food to me.

Good recipe and easy to make. I didn't use an entire cup of onions and used Texas Pete. Could have used more than a tsp of Texas Pete. I have one family member who doesn't like the peas...but it brings good luck on New Years Day! Like the chicken and spices -- will definitely make the chicken again!
