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

I’ll take all of y’all’s downvotes but I have started grilling boneless thighs and breasts on the grill. I rub them with pig stand basting sauce, season with hardcore carnivore red, then grill hot and fast. I usually prep a large amount of chicken and do this the day or two before and eat a couple with a salad, then the next day use them for chopped bbq sandwiches, then throw the rest in the pot the next day.

I use chicken stock for the gumbo so I typically make my gumbo by browning my sausage, making roux, browning veggies, then simmering for a while and throwing the grilled chicken a little prior to service so they don’t shred too bad.
