When I make gumbo, I've always browned the chicken then removed the skin (don't know why, that's how I was taught). I'm thinking about giving it a try with fried chicken, any pointers or recipes?

Remove the skin, flour and fry. Use that oil for the roux. It'll be awesome.

I also remove the skin, season the chicken and the flour. Fry and use the frying oil to make roux. I only fry until it's golden brown, not until it's done. Once you chop it, it's going to cook more during the simmer.

Build a gumbo, pull 8 pcs Popeyes off the bone, drop in gumbo, crumblies, skin and all.

Eat.

You don't like the skin push it aside.

I like that idea. But taste the chicken first. I got some Popeye's for a fishing trip earlier this week and it was almost to salty to eat. Could have ruined a gumbo.

Pardon my ignorance on the subject, but wouldnt this add a decent amount of extra grease?

Depends on whether you use the skin I remove the skin before I fry. I also remove the grease before serving.

Well I do that for my chicken gumbo but I don't call that my fried chicken gumbo. That's just browning the chicken. When I do that I keep the skin on so I have the chicken fat in the oil to make the roux.

Fried chicken gumbo to me is sausage gumbo with added commercial fried chicken.

I deep fry it in a deep cast iron fryer. I don't call it fried chicken gumbo, but that's semantics. It's gumbo with fried chicken in it.

Someone just handed me a rosemary gin fizz for our before dinner cocktail. Very nice.

I'm eyeing a nice cheese plate.
