used smoked chicken



This is what I do. I smoked 3 chickens over the weekend, pulled the meat off, made 2.5 gallons of stock using the carcasses & chicken skin, and used the meat for a gumbo I made last night. The chicken + the stock adds a nice smoky flavor.

Used poblanos before and even threw in a super minced jalapeño. When using hotter peppers, be sure to back off or not use any cayenne. A little goes a long way.

Never smoked my roux but I try to smoke my chicken any time I have the time before to do so. I've thrown in a couple chopped jalops in with the bell peppers a few times. I didn't notice much difference.

about to fire up the smoker to do the same. i appreciate traditional gumbo but it's a little flat once you've gotten used to a more smokey flavor.

pull the skin off. chop it up really fine or put in an electric chopper. Add to the gumbo.

I take the skin off of chicken before smoking if I know that I'll be adding to a dish later. This allows you to apply the seasoning directly to the meat instead of throwing it out with the skin.

What kind of a heathen doesn’t eat the skin?

I make a smoked Turkey gumbo. Recipe is equivalent to chicken and sausage but instead of chicken it uses a Turkey I smoke and then make a stock with the carcass. I’m sure smoked chicken would be good just the same. I’ve never substituted peppers or tried anything fancy with the roux.

This is what I do. And of course, andouille. Beats other recipes I've tried.

I’ve been adding a thinly sliced jalapeño the past couple years and it comes out great
