Chicken sausage gumbo

Cut in cubes, brown. Add the chicken back the last 30 mins when all else is added and simmering. That way it comes out still in chunks. If you want the chicken to be shredded consistency, cook it longer. I prefer the cubbed chicken

I use rotisserie chickens in my gumbos. Remove the meat from the bones in desired sized chunks and use the carcass for the stock. The roasted chicken bones etc. make a great rich stock.

Same. And, costco already sells it shredded and bagged. Thing of beauty.

That pulled rotisserie bag they sell there is coated in some kind of solution. I wasn’t a fan.

If so how long do you boil for?

Boil? No. Roast

I don't like shredded chicken in gumbo at all.

Sometimes, I fry the chicken. Sometimes, I use smoked chicken and sometimes, I roast the chicken. I use the bones for stock. I can't recall the last time I would have boiled chicken for gumbo. I do it for chicken soup, but I make sure not to overcook it so it doesn't shred.

Once I add the chicken and sausage to the gumbo, I simmer for no more than about 45 minutes max. Gumbo doesn't need to cook for hours once put together.

I brown my chicken thighs whole and then pull slightly before fully cooked. After they cool, I chop into chunks. I add them back in with about an hour left of my simmer.

Throw in some tomato. That’s a must and you should also add some shrimp. No chicken and sausage gumbo is complete without a little seafood.
