Preseason meat for Jambalaya

Do you guys preseason or marinate your meat the night before for jambalaya or you just go with the seasonings at the time of the cook?

With chicken, I first throw a pound of bacon in to get a nice gratin on the bottom of the pot.
Take the bacon out and eat.
Scrape, scrape, scrape the pot while browning the chicken.

Yes that's how I do it, just was wondering if anyone marinades or seasons there meats prior to cooking

Season everything with Leblanc’s
After you add the water, taste it. If the water is slightly too salty, it’s perfect.

I've researched a lot of jambalaya recipes over the years, and I have rarely, if ever, seen a marinade for the meat. Everybody seasons the meat, sure, but usually that's just before browning.

you don't need any seasoning on the meat
definitely use the bacon grease
of course you add seasoning with other ingredients if you want but if you overseason it too much it's might get a little spicey

I have never pre-seasoned. I don’t see the need. Season as you go.

Yes.
Poultry magic for chicken
Pork magic for pork
2-4 hours prior

This is how I've always done it, was just picking some brains to see if others do differently.
Seems everyone is pretty similar, season as your cooking

When I'm cutting up pork the day before I always season it then throw it in gallon ziplocks. Same with the thigh meat after it's cleaned and chunked. Fry the bacon, get some fond built, remove bacon and mange' then throw the seasoned pork in. That's what really builds the fond for me. Deglaze a couple of times along the way until nearly fork tender then push it up the pot and throw the chicken in.

I just use kosher salt on my pork and chicken, did it that way the first time I made it with the Calc (THANKS STADIUMRAT!) and everyone seems to like it. The seasoning mix in the calc is perfect for me.

I've done it before if I'm trying to get a headstart the day before, but didn't notice where it made a difference one way or another.

Marinate your temple meat in Italian dressing and do a 72-hour sous vide or it’s not really jambalaya.

I preseason my meat whether I'm cooking a stew, jamabalaya, gumbo, fettuccine...... it makes a difference.
We do chicken dinners for a civic club I'm in. We season our meat on Thursday and cook them on Sunday Morning, the meat comes out so tender and juicy, it makes a big difference.

I've seasoned the pork after cutting it all up a few times.
Haven't really noticed a difference afterwards.

If I cut up meat the day before I cook it I will season it. I haven’t noticed any change in taste either way but after handling it I think the seasoning especially salt minimizes the chance of spoiling.

I season all protein before cooking it…

You season eggs before cooking?

Herbs de Provence as soon as they’re cracked and in the pan…so technically yes.
Boiling, shrimp or crawfish, that’s the outlier. Or a shell on prep like a bbq shrimp…

I always cut and season the meat before cooking. Sometimes it's only 30-45 min prior to the cook. Sometimes it's 24 hours.
Allowing some of the moisture to be drawn out of the meat prior to browning is ALWAYS better
