Anyone ever had it? Sounds good to me. Found this recipe from Donald Link and I think I'm gonna make it...

I've made it forever. Make a good stock with the sausage and rip about a ten piece of Popeyes off the bone into the pot skin, crumbles and all. Use whatever fried chicken you can get your hands on. Good stuff.

I'll probably get the chicken from Delpit's Chicken Shack...

You need to use a chicken without skin, I believe, for the best texture. Might want to fry your on so you can skin it first. PP's recipe is a very good guide.

Never had it, never heard of it, but it sounds intriguing.

Fried, rotisserie, baked, boiled, all works good. Premade fried or rotisserie is the easiest. Doin a 3 gallon right now.

If you've eaten gumbo at piccadilly, you've eaten fried chicken gumbo. They pull the meat off the fried chicken that was cooked the day before.

PP is the best. However instead of frying I throw a whole cut up raw chicken and let it simmer for all day. shite falls off the bone and makes its own stock. People I've made it for says it has the best flavor they've ever had. I also use andouille with it.


shite I'm hungry

I've been making Paul Prudhomme's version for years, but mine is better than what he serves in the restaurant. Not sure why. Maybe he doesn't make the same way in the restaurant.

The premise is a good one. Using the frying oil to make the roux makes for some of the best tasting chicken and andouille gumbo you'll ever eat.

I use skinless bone in pieces. I don't want a bunch of skin floating in my gumbo and it's not necessary anyway.

I've eaten at Piccadilly for fifty years and never seen a chicken gumbo. Gumbo with fish and okra for a buck seventy nine but never chicken.

Me too, but they used to make a great spicy chicken creole with the leftover fried chicken.

Maybe so but that's not gumbo nor did they ever advertise it as gumbo.

Not to be a jackass.

Even though I'm a jackass.
