    These are so easy and delicious! I thought Food Network was only for entertainment, but after watching (DVR'd) the episode of PD cooking these empanadas, I had to rewind and take notes! She called them spicy but they weren't (add more red pepper to kick it up a notch)!

    Paula Deen’s Spicy Chicken Empanadas,These are so easy and delicious! I thought Food Network was only for entertainment, but after watching (DVR’d) the episode of PD cooking these empanadas, I had to rewind and take notes! She called them spicy but they weren’t (add more red pepper to kick it up a notch)!,These were a great treat! I halved the recipe after reading the reviews and it was the perfect amount for two of us! However, we felt that they are a bit dry on the inside…maybe the crust should have been rolled thinner than the way it comes. Next time i think I will add salsa to the mix to make them more mosit and spicier!
