re: Poll: Do you brown your chicken for gumbo?

I picked up this from Isaac Toups of Toups Meatery, and have really liked the way it turns out.

I oil, salt, and pepper my chicken (usually thighs), and then put them under the broiler. They brown up really nice and still hold together really well since you’re not messing with them much. It cooks off a cook bit of fat too, which goes straight into the pot.
