Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (4 lb) roasting chickens, cut into 8 pieces
salt
cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup flour
1 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (12 ounce) bottle dark beer or 1 (12 ounce) bottle amber beer
1 quart chicken stock
2 teaspoons brown sugar, firmly packed

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Season chicken pieces with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear chicken pieces on both sides until golden brown.
  • Remove to a platter and reserve.
  • Add butter to pan and when melted, add flour and stir to combine well.
  • Continue to cook roux, stirring constantly, about 12 to 15 minutes or until chocolate brown.
  • Immediately add onion, celery, bell pepper and bay leaves and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until soft.
  • Add garlic and cook 2 minutes.
  • Add beer and stir well to loosen any brown bits from pan bottom.

  • Bring to a boil, return chicken pieces to the pot and simmer 1 hour and 15 minutes until chicken is very tinder.
  • Remove chicken pieces to a platter and when cool enough to handle, remove chicken meat from bones.
  • Return chicken meat to etouffee and continue cooking 30 minutes, until sauce is thickened and flavorful and chicken is beginning to fall apart.
  • Add chopped parsley, stirring to combine.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  • Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.

I love the crispy okra in this recipe. It adds a nice texture and flavor to the dish. I also like that the recipe uses chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. The thighs are more flavorful and juicy.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was very tender and the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm from Louisiana and I have to say that this recipe is authentic. The etouffee sauce is just like my grandmother used to make. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves Creole cuisine.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It was still very good, but I think I would have preferred it with chicken. The sauce was very flavorful and the tofu was nice and crispy.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I simply shredded some rotisserie chicken and added it to the sauce. It was just as delicious as when I make it with fresh chicken.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The sauce is always smooth and creamy, and the chicken is always tender and juicy. I love serving it with mashed potatoes and a side of green beans.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The etouffee sauce is incredibly rich and flavorful, and the chicken is tender and fall-off-the-bone. I highly recommend serving it with fluffy rice and a side of vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this etouffee was surprisingly mild. The flavors were complex and well-balanced, and the chicken was moist and juicy. I'll definitely be making this again.
