This would go great with turtle.

Am I the only one that makes a chicken sauce piquante with the whole chicken?

I always use a whole chicken, get lots more flavor that way

I've never cooked a sauce piquante, but this has inspired me. I'll be using this as my guide. Nice job

One question..... I never use tomato paste because the roux is the thickening agent...... I'm wondering if I should try it with paste....

Looks freaking delicious, if you dont mind me asking. How many onions, bell peppers, stalks of celery? How much chicken stock, sauce and tomatoes? I would love to recreate this, sauce piquante is my next dish to perfect.

I used:
one big onion
Two stalks of celery
one bell pepper
All chopped well
5-6 cloves of garlic minced
1 1/2 cups of oil to 1 cup flour
I let the roux get to a caramel color.
The small can of tomato paste (I think they are 6 oz.)
A Rotel can (You can try the spicy Rotel. I'll probably try that next time.)
A regular size can of whole tomatoes
4 cups of chicken stock
I eyed the amount of green onions and parsley that I chopped up. I like more green onions to parsley. It's to your discretion. They tasted delicious as garnish with the other flavors.

I used the 6 chicken breasts, but like I said, I'll probably try thinner next time. Seeing the discussion here though, either chicken thighs or a whole chicken seem to be better options. I would like to try both of them eventually.

ETA: I checked my recycling bin. The Rotel can is 10 oz, and the tomato can was 14.5 oz. Also when I seasoned it at the end, I used 2 tbsp of sugar and Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 to 1 tsp of oregano along with the other seasonings (salt, pepper, hot sauce, cayenne).

No. That's why I find the whole debate between thighs versus breasts silly here.

It's best done with a whole, cut up, bone in chicken. Anything else, is just wasting your time, it seems.

I know people are eating more healthy by using boneless and skinless chicken, but bones and fat gives you much more flavor. A hen is preferable, but a fryer will work, too.

Smoked sausage would be a nice addition as well. Otherwise, your dish looks pretty damn tasty.
