Has anyone here tried the fried chicken gumbo?

I've seen a couple people post about it but I don't know if anyone has ever tried to make it
Main reason I'm asking is I cooked a gumbo this past Saturday for the LSU game. I've got about half of it left but my guests were definitely dipping most of the meat out.
I was thinking about just dumping an 8 piece spicy into the pot when I reheat it and seeing how it turns out

Can't see why it wouldn't be good.

Yeah I'll probably remove the skin and take the meat off the bone
Seems like the skin would just get soggy in there

I don't see how this would be any different from using a rotisserie chicken.

Seasoned differently?

Donald Link's cookbook Real Cajun (which is excellent) has a fried chicken gumbo. It is incredible, but I'm not convinced the frying is worth the extra step.

Paul Prudhomme's recipe in the book I have calls for frying the chicken first as well. I always skip that step. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Makes a great gumbo. Remove the skin before frying and use some of the leftover sediment and oil to make the roux. It's excellent.

I tried an 8-piece spicy from Popeyes, skin removed. Tasted like any other chicken gumbo I've had.

That's a bit backwards. The chicken is de-skinned, then fried. Then added to the gumbo. That's where the texture and flavor comes into play. If one removes the skin from an already fried piece of chicken, much of the purpose is defeated.

Can you use the big chicken tenders from Walmarks?
