Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
Time: 2 Hours
stops at: 8–10 Servings

Ingredients:
1 (5-pound) stewing hen
1 pound smoked sausage 1 cup oil
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups cut onions
2 cups cut celery
1 cup cut bell peppers
1/4 cup minced garlic
3 quarts chicken stock
24 button mushrooms
2 cups sliced green onions
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp chopped basil


Method:
Using a sharp boning knife, cut hen into 8–10 serving pieces. Remove as much fat as possible. Cut smoked sausage or andouille into ½-inch slices and set aside. In a 2-gallon stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, stirring constantly until golden brown roux is achieved. (See roux recipes.) Stir in onions, celery, bell peppers and garlic. Sauté 3–5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Blend chicken and sausage into vegetable mixture, and sauté approximately 15 minutes. Add chicken stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce to simmer and cook approximately 1 hour. Skim any fat or oil that rises to top of pot. Stir in mushrooms, green onions, bay leaf, thyme and basil. Season to taste using salt, pepper and hot sauce. Cook an additional 1–2 hours, if necessary, until chicken is tender and falling apart. Stir in parsley and adjust seasonings. Serve over hot white rice. NOTE: You may wish to boil chicken 1–2 hours before beginning gumbo. Reserve stock, bone chicken and use meat and stock in gumbo.

"Oven" Barbecue Chicken
Mood:  a-ok
Prep Time: 1–1 1/2 Hours
Yields: 6–8 Servings

If prepared properly, no one will know this "barbecue" was prepared in the oven. This technique was created by an old chef who loved barbecue, but whose health did not permit him to cook outdoors. This recipe allowed him to enjoy barbecued chicken anytime.

Ingredients:
2 (2 1/2 pound) fryer chickens
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce
2 tbsps liquid smoke
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
granulated garlic to taste
1 1/2 tbsps chili powder
1 1/2 tbsps cumin
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
1–1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut chicken into serving pieces, rinse under cold water and set aside. Mix together the liquid ingredients. Coat chicken well with liquid mixture. Season chicken with salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Place it in a large baking pan with a 1-inch lip. Sprinkle chili powder and cumin on all sides of chicken. Turn chicken skin-side up and space evenly in pan. Rub the same amount of brown sugar on each piece. Pour water into bottom of pan. Cover pan with foil then place on center rack of oven. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 minutes, basting with barbecue sauce until golden.
