Adding Chicken for Chicken & Sausage Gumbo

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Karl James owner of Creolesoul catering and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you a simple chicken and sausage gumbo. Okay now that we have render our sausage now we are going to brown our chicken, we have seasoned our chicken with the seasonings that we have mixed earlier and we are going to put this in the same hot pot. We are going to brown this chicken not cooking it all the way threw but browning it but also rendering our little chicken fat. What we did is skin the chicken because as it cooks in the gumbo skin get soft, even if you browned it on there and got a crispiness the more you cook it the softer it would get and we don't want that. That is kind of unpleasant to be eating you gumbo and come across the slice of piece of skin so. So we are browning our chicken on a medium high heat here cause we want to brown it really really quickly. Like I said we have seasoned it ahead of time with that same seasoned mixture that we have made earlier we would use the rest of that once we get our gumbo going. Anyway this process would take us oh about 5-6 minutes and then we would remove the chicken from the pot. One thing you would notice is when we are preparing this we are using one pot to this in so we don't have a whole bunch of dishes to clean up just a few. Anyway we would continue to brown our chicken and move on to our next step. "
