Jambalaya Question
Posted on 11/12/12 at 7:48 pm
Posted on 11/12/12 at 7:48 pm
I'm trying out chicken in my jambalaya (Cajun not creole) for the first time. Does anyone have any tips on what chicken to use and how you would cook it?
Any help is much appreciated

Husband prefers to use boneless thighs. Easier than dealing with bones, and not as dry as white meat.

use boneless skinless thighs if you're going to go chicken. Use the same ratio of chicken to sausage to rice as you would for a pork and sausage jambalaya. You may want to plan on seasoning your jambalaya more heavily as the chicken will add less flavor to your jambalaya than pork.

This is what I'm worried about, I guess I will just experiment and see what works.
Thanks for all the help!

Really not that hard, just before you add the rice, you want it just a tad to salty and to spicy.
The rice will soak up the extra seasoning.

Great. We built some hook beams that we hang the links from but you can put a rack up at the top and just buy some SS s-hooks from the hardware and that would work as well. My cousin built one just like ours and he did that. Works great.

Oh yea. Bout 6 hours. Just depends on how smoky you want it. Just adjust heat to what you want. We like to drink beer so we do it low and slow.
Also build you a thermometer into it. We just have a magnetic one we use inside. I'm going to buy one we can mount through a drilled hole. The old man is old school.
