re: Has anyone here tried the fried chicken gumbo?

When I first began researching how to make a homemade gumbo I came across a video and this lady lightly breaded all her chicken and fried it before adding to the gumbo. It was lightly breaded and the breading falls off and dissolves into the gumbo, acting as another thickening agent. I don't think it would be much of a difference maker for me since I keep my gumbo quite thick as it is.
