Chicken And Spicy Sausage Gumbo Recipes

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, mustard, filé powder, garlic powder, and salt.

• In a large frying pan (preferably cast iron), heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Combine flour and 2 teaspoons of spice mixture in a freezer bag.

• Brown chicken in oil on 1 side (2 minutes) then turn over and cook for another 3 minutes (reserve excess flour).
• Drain chicken on paper towels.
• Reduce heat to medium and make roux by adding reserved flour mixture to the oil; cook, whisk constantly, until flour turns nut brown (Roux should immediately start browning, but be very careful not to let it burn; lower heat if necessary because if black spots appear it's ruined and you have to start over).
• Add the onion, green pepper, and celery to the roux; remove from heat.
• In large Dutch oven, bring stock to a boil.

CAJUN CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, whisk in flour. Continue whisking until the roux has cooked to the color of chocolate milk, 8 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the roux. If you see black specks in the mixture, start over.
• Stir onion, bell pepper, celery, and sausage into the roux; cook 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning; blend thoroughly. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken, and simmer 1 hour more. Skim off any foam that floats to the top during the last hour.

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Put chicken pieces in a bowl. Blend salt, peppers, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika, granulated garlic and file powder. Rub four teaspoons of the mixture over the chicken. Set rest of spice mixture aside.
• Put the flour in a bowl and add two teaspoons of the reserved spice mixture. Blend well.
• Heat a 10-inch skillet and add the oil. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture to coat well, shaking off excess. Reserve the leftover flour.
• When the oil is hot and almost smoking, add the chicken pieces skin side down. Cook about two minutes on one side until golden brown. Turn and cook about three minutes on the second side until nicely browned. Do this in batches so as to not crowd the pan. Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
• Pour off all but one cup of fat from the skillet. Heat this oil over high heat until it is almost smoking and add the reserved seasoned flour. Stir rapidly and constantly with a wire whisk until the mixture is golden brown. Do not burn. This is a roux.
• Add the chopped onion, celery and green pepper to the roux and stir to blend well. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan.
• Add about half a cup of the roux mixture to the broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Continue adding the roux mixture, half a cup at a time, always stirring rapidly and constantly.
• Add the smoked sausage and stir. Cook over high heat, stirring often from the bottom, about 15 minutes.
• Add the chicken pieces, bay leaf and finely minced fresh garlic. Cook about 40 minutes, on medium-low, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the chicken pieces. Cut the meat from the bones and discard the bones. Cut the chicken into cubes or shred it and add it back to the pot. Serve with white rice or potato salad (or both) spooned into the gumbo.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
• slice sausage into thin rounds (we like to cut it thin, gives the illusion of more sausage).
• put sausage into large pot and begin to brown on med-high heat to render the juices from the sausage, cook about 10 minutes.
• add chicken and 2 diced onions and continue to brown for about 15 minutes. You really don't have to get it really brown, just get the pink out of the chicken.
• while its cooking, add quite a lot of Tony's, I'd have to say about 2-3 tablespoons.
• Add water and bring to boil over med-high heat (takes awhile) when it starts to boil, add the whole jar of roux and continue cooking on a slow boil for at least an hour.
• Season with more Tony's until you get the flavor you want.
• When serving, add chopped green onions and serve over hot fluffy rice.
• We add file to our individual servings. Enjoy!
