Salt, pepper, and lightly flour the chicken pieces from a cut up chicken. Set aside.

Dice two onions.

A little oil goes in a hot pot. Brown the chicken well, and set aside.

Add the onion on med low heat and brown the hell out of the onion.

Add a little chicken stock...slowly...in 1/2 cup increments each, over the time it takes to consume a few beers.

Add the chicken and cut the heat to low. Season to taste with red pepper, black pepper and salt. Add a little garlic if you wish. Go 30-45 minutes, adding stock if needed, depending on how thick you want the gravy.

Adjust salt and pepper. Serve with rice and beer.

i remember my mom making this when i was a kid. Had no idea what it was , just that it was really good.

Always regretted not having her teach me how to cook.

Question: does it matter which chicken parts? I seem to remember only seeing legs and thighs but, that was a long time ago.

That's not a true fricasee'. It's supposed to be a very condensed and thick roux based gravy.

Not here to argue that, but when I was young Fricassee was a blonde colored stew about the same consistency of Gumbo, every recipe I have seen seems to agree with your statement-- a thick dark gumbo, that is not what I remember. maybe we should call it smothered chicken instead??

ETA: always wondered what the difference was between smothered and fricasse

Fricasse is a light thin gravy. Chicken stew has a thick roux gravy

It was both in my house and the color was dictated by my Mother's Day and whether or not it included carpooling for ball practice, doctors appointments, dance lessons or a rare moment when she actually had a bit of private, quiet time in her kitchen to get that almost black roux that was never burned.

I wish I could have either one today.

i gather 2 things:

1. there is no concensus on what a chicken fricasse should be
2. chicken fricasse = chicken gumbo

my dad is from Puerto Rico, so I grew up eating a completely different style of fricasse. Wasn't until I moved away to college until I even knew there was different style. Here's something similar to my families version. https://allrecipes.com/recipe/107613/pollo-chicken-fricassee-from-puerto-rico/
