i don't know about jerry lee's boudin but, in my experience, most boudin is precooked. all you have to do it heat it up and you are ready to go.
our preferred method is to steam it in either a steamer basket or in a rice cooker.

i don't think this is precooked, the meat still appears raw... thanks though

I know there is a place in Opelousas that sells boudin with uncooked meat and people grill it.

I get Jerry Lee's often and I never knew they sold uncooked boudin. I know they sell hot boudin and cold boudin. The cold boudin is kind of a light brown look to it.
But I think you should be able to steam it or grill it

i think i am going to try grilling it. i have started boiling this one link for about 10-15 minutes, then i set it up to steam for a good while....i cut it open and it just doesnt look cooked

throw it on the grill for about 30 minutes. should be good to go. i think the package i did today said internal temp of 160 degF

Wrap it in foil and chunck it on the grill.

put it on the grill or in the oven and get the skin nice and crispy. That's better than steaming, IMO.

I agree with the others...I would grill it...smoked boudin is far and away my favorite...

I have bought it uncooked, boiled it til mostly done and then dropped in the fryer til nice and crispy. (let boudin rest and cool before frying or it will bust out of casing).

Don't boil it! Best method is searing it in an iron skillet on the stove until it's nice and crispy.

The meat itself would be cooked. The casing may be "raw" though.

you people crack me up. cold boudin is cooked inside....just cold. hot boudin....they warmed the cooked boudin up for you.
Stick some boudin in a pot of water (first bring to a boil and lower the burner significantly, otherwise you will pop your casing and have COOKED boudin soup). Drop it in for 10-15 minutes to warm up. If you pinch the boudin in the middle and your indention sticks, it is still cold in the middle...if not, it's warm.
if Jerry Lee's boudin looks raw in the middle, either they do it way wrong, which is par for the course on their boudin, or you don't know what cooked food looks like.
My guess is it's cooked inside, but hard to tell with all that rice.
(eta--warming on the grill and smoking it is nearly redundant, but I do like the grill flavor)
ETA---as for the place that sells raw uncooked boudin...that just sounds WEIRD as hell to me.

that is what i was thinking with my original response. i've never purchased boudin anywhere that wasn't already cooked. the meat is typically cooked before it is mixed with the rice and stuffed in the casing.

i believe the boudin is cooked. it is hard to tell with jerry lee's due to all the damn rice. is o.k. for boudin but not the style i like.
to answer the question for the o.p. try grilling it but also but a little hickory on coals to give it that little sweet smoke flavor

When I boil it, I bust the casing EVERY time and end up looking for the collander! I have learned it's best (for me) to just steam or grill boudin..
