Remember my Dad and Uncles making this at the camp and loved it but never really have attempted one myself, but got my hands on 2 fresh birds and would like to give it a shot this afternoon and the black iron is ready!
TIA

Never had this; My family's sauce piquante was always made with venison, and involves a can or two of Rotels.

I would dust with flour and season the cut-up chicken, and brown the shite out of it. Then add rotel and sausage, cook that for a bit and add some more liquid (stock, or beer, or red wine), cover and simmer for a couple of hours.

You forgot an important part of cooking. When you chop up your garlic, and go to move on, stop and cut up a couple more cloves.

shite baw...you can come cook
at da camp any day! Looks solid. All you need is some rice, garlic bread, maybe a little tater salad. If it was something that your grandpa or uncle cooked chances are it wasn't complicated at all. That generation knew how to cook well without making a big fuss.

Don't cook it for too long in that black iron. It WILL taste like metal if you leave it in too long.

Im not going to cook a spaghetti gravy in a black iron pot but I promise you 99% of sauce piquant made in south Louisiana is cooked in a black cast iron pot. What would you say is "too long"? Not arguing that this won't happen, just curious how long you think it has to sit to develop a metallic taste.
