And how are you going to eat that without potato salad?

Had the chicken defrosting in the fridge and had plans to cook it whole in my smoker. Weather yesterday altered that so I made a last minute decision to cook gumbo.

Definitely wanted both green onions and potato salad but didn't want it badly enough to go to the store.

Gonna stop at the store on my way home from work today and get some deli potato salad to go with the leftovers.

Am I the only person that leaves the skin on / in the gumbo? I like it in there and that was how I was taught.


On another note, are we or are we not going to derail this into an okra argument? Just wanted to know how much of my workday to dedicate to this thread.

You're not. Some people put in whole pieces, bone, skin etc... It's not my preference.

What’s the difference between this and chicken friccassie ? My maw maw made friccassie all the time. Her roux wasn’t as dark, but it was basically fried chicken that was later smothered in a roux thicken sauce/gravy.

I'm not a fan of the texture the skin gets after simmering for a long time.

Just a Tablespoon. Picked that up from the Donald Link gumbo recipe in his Down South cookbook.

I live in North LA so my options are limited. Just had to use Savoie's andouille. I sometimes keep some Bourque's sausage on hand but I haven't passed through Port Barre in a few months.

Same here. I love jasmine rice. About the only time I use anything different is when I make chicken tikka masala I like to use basmati rice for that.
