My 14 yr old son is the cook in my home. He has stepped up his game up since watching your channel. We are from NOLA and we are grateful that you keep the recipes true to their authentic form! Maybe he could be a guest on one of your shows! He makes a mean smothered turkey neck with brown gravy. Also thanks for being a positive role model for him. Blessings
Hello Keisha! I am happy to hear that I am helping your son step his game up in the kitchen and that I am an inspiration to him! Thanks so much for all the compliments my fellow New Orleans native!
@@MsSexyDiva4Lyfe IKR, He will be the best in Home economics class. Even though they do not do that in black schools anymore, He would still be the best. The first time we cause a fire or make something explode in the chemistry lab, they take all that education away from us, claiming its a hazard. They still try to teach us using just books, but hands on is the best way to understand it. Their children can blow up the whole school but their lab and cooking class is always rebuilt and used in their schools.
@@FarroWife Wow you’re so right. I remember home economics. We need these programs in our schools, you can only gain so much understanding through books. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
YOU have given the best advice on making roux I have ever heard of! Turning the stove off and continuing to stir and cook it ensures that is cooked to the right color without burning it. Man, you are an excellent cook!!
I made this meal today... I put way to much salt in my tater salad so I'll add some eggs and taters to it.... everything else was PERFECT....Charlie this meal was absolutely delicious and much easier than the way I use to smother chicken....this is my go to recipe from now on...thank
Aww. No worries. You only need a small amount of seasoning in potato salad! Overall I am happy to hear that the Smothered chicken turned out good. Thanks for leaving feedback!
I used chicken legs I cooked on the grill. I followed your recipe & cooked it for about an hour until the meat fell off the bones. That was the Best chicken & gravy I ever had without using chicken stock or bouillon cubes. Thank You for another winning recipe . You Da Chef, Charlie !
Wanna know how I grew up in New Orleans? Study the Charlie Andrews video collection. Charlie is the definition of a New Orleans cook. Not a fancy assed "Chef". A REAL New Orleans home cooking COOK ! ! !
BLESS UPS Chef Charlie! You got me going to eat peas again! Looks so good! & This makes me miss my Momma; Chef Barbara (R.I.P.) & her food even more! Not Sad, but Happy! You Brighten My Days, Chef Charlie! Thank You! I'm surprised to see this is six yrs old!;)PEACE
I knew I was doing something wrong. LOL. Those eggs just wouldn't be my friend. Thanks for the advice! I sure forgot about that part. Didn't know what I was thanking lmao
As soon as I take them off the stove, I shock them by running cold water into the pot then while the cold water is running tap the egg and peel under the cold water and the shell comes off in two parts.
I followed this recipe. Charlie, this was so good! For a moment I was transported back to my grandmother's kitchen...had to shake myself to come back to reality! LOL! Definitely will be trying more of your delicious, down-home recipes! Thank you so much for sharing
Wow Awesome! I am happy to hear that the smothered chicken turned out good and that it brought back memories of your grandmother's kitchen! You're welcome and Thanks for leaving feedback!
Louisiana people can work that roux! I have seen you make rice before, but you showed me a different way to make rice, and the peas! We grew up on fresh or frozen peas. I enjoy learning new things and techniques. That is a meal made for a Queen, me! Thanks Charlie
I have been binge watching your videos and you are amazing! You are debunking ALL the warnings the women in my family gave me about cooking. I made your 7up pound cake and it was amazing! I let the cake cool completely before removing with no issues! And tomorrow for Sunday dinner I'm making this recipe. God bless you! I'm so excited.
I appreciate you for watching. Happy to hear that the 7UP pound cake was a success! Let me know how the Smothered chicken meal turns out! Thanks so much! :)
Thank you so much for this very detailed video! I'm just a half white, half creole Native American girl who is trying to make something tasty for her black husband. LOL. It smells so good, so I think I did it. You are so sweet.Thank you!!!
Hey Charlie, my name is Meechie and I have to say thank you. My spouse watches your videos all the time, it even had him drooling (laughing) on himself . I told him that I would purchase the ingredients only if he cooks. He did it. Thank you Charlie 💗
Heyy there! You're welcome not a problem! Happy to hear that the Smothered chicken turned out good. Thanks so much for the compliments and for leaving feedback!
New Orleans We're so glad we found your videos. We are also local. Can't wait to try this recipe among your others. Thank you for your time here and sharing!
Charlie, you are awesome! I love your videos. I must admit I am used to making my southern potato salad with my diced potatoes, relish, miracle whip and so forth, so when I saw your potato salad I was a bit taken back, but I decided to tried it your way and now I am a believer. When I put it together I used the Toni's seasonings and some Lawry's seasoning salt and baby when i tell you it was the bomb I kid you not, it turned out better then I expected. Now I am torn on which way I will be making potato salad moving forward..lol. I would love to see you do a nice pot roast or beef and noodle dish. God Bless and keep making magic in the kitchen.
Thank you! Happy that you are enjoying my videos! I learned how to make potato salad by watching my grandmother make it! Wow that's good. I do have a pot roast video already uploaded. Check it out of you like. Thanks for commenting!
I also make my potato salad with diced potatoes onions celery Miracle Whip and relish I was a little taken back by the way your potato salad was made but it still looks delicious going to try your way one day I love your channel everything you make is always on point
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Exactly like my mama used to make it, except she used to let it smother for like 3 hours or more - 'til it, literally, fell off the bone. It's a Sicilian thing.
Wow, I tried this recipe for dinner, everyone blowns away... so delicious...little one asked for the next time the same meal and they told me we want Uncle Charlie Chicken recipe 🤣
Charlie Andrews Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes, I will try your other recipes especially now here with cold weather, your food are great compliments to try , you are so talented and creative. God Bless You

Wonderful! I love to have a morning talk with you overa GOOD cup of Community Coffee and then get to cookin this lovely meal with you! Youre my friend in my head and I am definitely a BIG FAN! LOVE IT!
Uh uh uh...flashback...your videos are so informative...back in the dsy day as a child I remember folks calling green peas English Peas (or Anglish). They had to grow on me but I learned to love them. Keep up the good work young fella!
My husbands grandmother was the worst cook ever, she RIP now. He and I never liked going to her home because she would always try to make us eat her food. She is the type to use people like we use dogs and cats, to get ride of left overs so we wont be throwing food away. One day I had to show her that she had mildew on the food she was trying to make us eat. But one day she had freshly cooked this meal. I gave her so much praise for it. She was so happy to hear that she can cook something we liked. She would always call us when she cooked this meal. I would ask her to teach me but she never did. I got the secret now. lol In fact, when I first seen this video two years ago, I tried it instantly. My family loves it. Thank you again.
Oh wow...I don't blame you all for not eating her food. Once I had found out about the mold I would of definitely not eat from her again especially when she tried to make you all eat it. Glad that she actually cooked something fresh and ya'll enjoyed a meal together before she passed. Thanks for sharing!
+Seirra Hill Thanks alot. I get that compliment from alot of people. I enjoy cooking from scratch! Cool. Well let me know the results when you're done! :)
Charlie, I can hit the table 4times, everything you said do, I did and of course I'm from New Orleans we are the real true chef's, Oops did I say that, yes I did. Keep on cooking Charlie you are awesome, yes you are. Waiting to see you cook succotash, I hope I spelled it correctly.😘❤
Wow, that's awesome. I'm happy to hear that the smothered chicken was successful. I also appreciate the compliments. Link to succotash video is below. Thanks, my fellow New Orleans native!! th-cam.com/video/Qy7YMrb1Hf8/w-d-xo.html

You're welcome Chris! Awesome that is good to hear. I wish you could of found my channel sooner as well. You're welcome and let me know how everything turns out. Thanks! :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Exactly like my mama used to make it, except she would let it smother for like 3 hours - 'til it literally fell off the bone. It's a Sicilian thing.
Thank you so much for this video! I made smothered chicken tonight following your video and it came out great. I have never had much success making the roux from scratch before now but following your directions got me right! Thank you again! I cant wait to learn more from your videos!
Charlie you are a great cook. thx god i found you on youtube. i made your gumbo the other day with the homemade chicken gizzard stock nd the homemade shrimp stock it was delicious nd i fried the slime out of the okra. great food trick ever thx u nd god bless xoxoxo
Oh my goodness Charlie. You really making me hungry this morning. watch your video .With the cornbread , neck, bones and greens. now your video. With smothered chicken. English peas ,potato salad and rice. Serve me up a big platter. Have to use a platter. So I can get to eat all of the food. I love watching you cook. You're so cool, calm soft-spoken voice. Put in the charm. Thanks again for sharing you're cooking with us. Have a great day Charlie.
I'm glad I watched this. I just finished cooking smothered chicken. never did before. I didn't want to fry. so I seared it and added to my pot with chicken broth onions and bell peppers and made my gravy from the drippings of the seared chicken. whole time in thinking there's multiple ways to make smothered chicken it doesn't always have to be fried I came here just to see lol. and I was right. 😍 thank you !
That's awesome! You are right about that. Smothered chicken does not need to be fried. Happy that you found this recipe video. You're welcome, not a problem! Thanks for sharing!
Charlie you did it again! I cooked the smothered chicken and gravy and the peas, white rice. I just want to say thank you for being honest about your recipes unlike some of the people who cook on TH-cam but it does not come out right. Will you do the same for smothered pork chops? Can you also, do dressing?
+Dorothy davalos- Yesss! I am excited to hear this. You're Welcome! Yes I have to be honest. Gotta make sure it comes out right! Im not going to post anything on here that doesn't come out or taste right. Gotta make sure it near perfect and if people need help they email me and I help them with whatever it is they need help with. Yes as far as Smothered Pork Chops goes yes you do the same thing but I may release a video on how to make that. Yes I have a recipe for dressing but the bad news is that right now im having serious computer issues so hopefully after Thanksgiving i can release videos again. Sorry!
I made this tonight for my family! Thank you for sharing this recipe.. So simple and easy to follow. They loved it!! U rock!! More cooking videos please!!
+sweetlipss84- Good! :) You're Welcome! Im glad they loved it. Makes me smile :). Yes I will post more videos soon. Be sure to check out my latest videos ive uploaded!!!! :)

Outstanding Charlie! Sitting down now eating my delicious smothered chicken drumsticks, gravy, rice, sweet peas and potato salad. My meal came out perfect. Even had me banging the table! Excellent instructions Charlie! This is my second recipe I tried from you. The first was Strawberry Pound Cake. Sharing the site with two friends.
Awesome Nina! I am happy to hear that the Smothered Chicken meal was a success. I appreciate all of the compliments and you for sharing information about my channel and website to others. Thanks so much for leaving feedback!
+Maxx JAX AWESOME!

You're Welcome! Happy that it came out good! Glad that I was able to help! :) How to make a Roux (Video) Click link below! th-cam.com/video/8fz7_RW3s8g/w-d-xo.html
Looks really tasty! I have to try this one out. Never made a Roux before, so now's the time to do it. Also, never added Sugar to Peas before. Will have to try this out, as well. Thanks for this video and recipe, Charlie...much appreciated. .......Rob.......
Thank you Charlie can't wait to try this I know its gonna be delicious because I've tried some of your other recipes like the shrimp and grits and they were so darn good I can't stop making them.
being in New Orleans when I lived there I didnt have much, but how good it was to live so simply. We did good and clothing looking good and eating good.
Hey Charlie I'm cooking this as we speak! I learned how to make a lot of things from you in this one is my favorite I hope that I get to meet you One One day as I am from Louisiana and only two hours away from you would love to have lunch in Convo with you the next time I am in town take care and God bless you
Heyy there! Awesome! I'm glad that i was able to help you cook somethings. Yes that's a great idea! You're not that far away so yeah that would be cool! :) Hope the recipe came out good! :)
I stumbled onto this dish when I was looking for some good southern dishes, enjoyed your cooking and had to subscribe so I can get some more dishes from you. Keep these good meals coming.
Thanks Charlie for the great and entertaining video. I love the way you make potato salad, smooth and no nasty chunks! I could eat that whole bowl! One can of peas would be more than enough for me though. lol I hope the right person comes along and helps you eat all of that fine food! I can easily see you doing cooking classes, you should think about it. Thanks again for posting, I enjoyed it very much. Be well.
You're welcome Jeff. Im glad that Im not the only one who makes my potato salad creamy lol i don't really care for the potato salad that has the potato chunks in it. I love green peas so one can ain't enough for me lol Yes i know right. Some people have asked me to do cooking classes but it won't be easy. You're welcome and im glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting!
+anthony herboomanc Yes Sir you've come to the right channel. Thank you for subscribing and also let me know the results of the Smothered Chicken! If you run into any problems email me charliethecookandrews@gmail.com
Hey Charlie. I have never put onion or sugar in my green peas. I always use salt, pepper, butter of course, and a teaspoon of dill weed. All yall gonna have to try that cause its really good and brings the flavor up a notch. But the sugar is interesting too. I will try that the next time I cook peas. Thanks for a "new to me" idea!
No problem!!!! That is awesome!!!! :) See this proves that anyone can be successful with making this recipe. Here you are, never heard of a roux before. Made the recipe and it was a success!!!! Very glad to hear that!!!! :D Thank you soooo much for your feedback!!!! Means ALOTT :D
I enjoy watching your videos. Fyi when u clean your chicken legs. scrap the yellow layer off the legs. Let them soak with vinegar and salt it will come off easily
Somebody needs to put you on a tv show....Rachel Ray don't do anything to my soul!!YOU on the other hand,makes me hungry and drool all over myself!! lol
Hi Charlie I always watch your channel your food looks amazing your gravy looks a lot like mine I always add a chicken broth or beef broth instead of water to my gravy..it gives it a lot more flavor
I love the entire menu...except for the canned peas. i grew up eating canned peas.....but i prefer frozen peas.....i 've made frozen peas, the way you did the canned variety..and they work
Thanks Judith. Yes Canned Peas works for me. Frozen peas ive tried them, yes they are good but they are mainly meant to be seasoned. Canned peas are kind of sweet and I like the flavor better when I cook them and I use no salt.
My 14 yr old son is the cook in my home. He has stepped up his game up since watching your channel. We are from NOLA and we are grateful that you keep the recipes true to their authentic form! Maybe he could be a guest on one of your shows! He makes a mean smothered turkey neck with brown gravy. Also thanks for being a positive role model for him. Blessings
Hello Keisha! I am happy to hear that I am helping your son step his game up in the kitchen and that I am an inspiration to him! Thanks so much for all the compliments my fellow New Orleans native!
Wow! He's 14 and cooking like that? He's going places! I'm 40 and watching these videos lol
@@MsSexyDiva4Lyfe IKR, He will be the best in Home economics class. Even though they do not do that in black schools anymore, He would still be the best. The first time we cause a fire or make something explode in the chemistry lab, they take all that education away from us, claiming its a hazard. They still try to teach us using just books, but hands on is the best way to understand it. Their children can blow up the whole school but their lab and cooking class is always rebuilt and used in their schools.
Looks so good!! Thanks for these great recipes.
@@FarroWife Wow you’re so right. I remember home economics. We need these programs in our schools, you can only gain so much understanding through books. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
This was outrageously good. The flavor was so rich it blew our minds.The sweet peas and potatoes also made amazing sides. Worth the time and effort!
Hey there! I am happy to hear that the Smothered chicken meal was successful and that you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback!!

This will forever be my favorite!!! I loved when my auntie em used to make this. Memories in the 9th wd! 😊
That is good to hear. I appreciate you. Thanks for sharing!
YOU have given the best advice on making roux I have ever heard of! Turning the stove off and continuing to stir and cook it ensures that is cooked to the right color without burning it.
Man, you are an excellent cook!!
Thank you Barney for the compliments. I try my best to explain everything! :D
Charlie, I’m watching this in 2020. I will be making all of this today. Yours looks so good.
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out. Thank you!

If u cold shock your eggs right after u take them out of the boiling water by rinsing it with cold water for about 2 minutes the shell peels right off
I knew I was doing something wrong. LOL. Those eggs just wouldn't be my friend. Thanks for the advice! I sure forgot about that part. Didn't know what I was thanking lmao
Thanks for the reminder....I heard that before but forgot... I am making this meal today my eggs and potatoes are on so I'll give it a try today
There is more than 1 way to skin a cat
As soon as I take them off the stove, I shock them by running cold water into the pot then while the cold water is running tap the egg and peel under the cold water and the shell comes off in two parts.
Looks like great southern comfort food. My mother and grandmother made this many times when I was growing up in south Louisiana.

Oh my goodness Charlie. You really making me hungry this morning. watch your video .With the cornbread , neck, bones and greens. now your video. With smothered chicken. English peas ,potato salad and rice. Serve me up a big platter. Have to use a platter. So I can get to eat all of the food. I love watching you cook. You're so cool, calm soft-spoken voice. Put in the charm. Thanks again for sharing you're cooking with us. Have a great day Charlie.
Sorry if I made you hungry. Lol That sounds like a good idea. You're welcome! You have a good day as well.
I'm glad I watched this. I just finished cooking smothered chicken. never did before. I didn't want to fry. so I seared it and added to my pot with chicken broth onions and bell peppers and made my gravy from the drippings of the seared chicken. whole time in thinking there's multiple ways to make smothered chicken it doesn't always have to be fried I came here just to see lol. and I was right. 😍 thank you !
That's awesome! You are right about that. Smothered chicken does not need to be fried. Happy that you found this recipe video. You're welcome, not a problem! Thanks for sharing!
Charlie you did it again! I cooked the smothered chicken and gravy and the peas, white rice. I just want to say thank you for being honest about your recipes unlike some of the people who cook on TH-cam but it does not come out right. Will you do the same for smothered pork chops? Can you also, do dressing?
+Dorothy davalos- Yesss! I am excited to hear this. You're Welcome! Yes I have to be honest. Gotta make sure it comes out right! Im not going to post anything on here that doesn't come out or taste right. Gotta make sure it near perfect and if people need help they email me and I help them with whatever it is they need help with. Yes as far as Smothered Pork Chops goes yes you do the same thing but I may release a video on how to make that. Yes I have
a recipe for dressing but the bad news is that right now im having serious computer issues so hopefully after Thanksgiving i can release videos again. Sorry!
thanks so much for this!!! i cooked this for me and my husband and it came out great!! :)

being in New Orleans when I lived there I didnt have much, but how good it was to live so simply. We did good and clothing looking good and eating good.
Yes i understand where you are coming from.
I would add a little oil and butter so that it doesn’t stick so bad.
Impeccable plating. Old Bay in potato salad is awesome.
That's cool! Never used old bay seasoning before.
From N.O..... But this just got real for me thanks for sharing...

Yes! Thank you!!!!:)
Thanks Charlie for the great and entertaining video. I love the way you make potato salad, smooth and no nasty chunks! I could eat that whole bowl! One can of peas would be more than enough for me though. lol I hope the right person comes along and helps you eat all of that fine food! I can easily see you doing cooking classes, you should think about it. Thanks again for posting, I enjoyed it very much. Be well.
You're welcome Jeff. Im glad that Im not the only one who makes my potato salad creamy lol i don't really care for the potato salad that has the potato chunks in it. I love green peas so one can ain't enough for me lol Yes i know right. Some people have asked me to do cooking classes but it won't be easy. You're welcome and im glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting!
Charlie Andrews I would come to a cooking class. you should do it! make some $$ and teach us how to cook

Hey Charlie. I have never put onion or sugar in my green peas. I always use salt, pepper, butter of course, and a teaspoon of dill weed. All yall gonna have to try that cause its really good and brings the flavor up a notch. But the sugar is interesting too. I will try that the next time I cook peas. Thanks for a "new to me" idea!
The onion and sugar is really good in green peas. Yes salt and pepper is good too. Great glad that you are learning somethings lol
Thank you sooo much for sharing your recipe!!! I'm from Ks and I've never heard of rue. Made the smothered chicken tonight and it was delicious!!!!

Welcome
Welcome
🙂
I enjoy watching your videos. Fyi when u clean your chicken legs. scrap the yellow layer off the legs. Let them soak with vinegar and salt it will come off easily
Thanks Emma for the compliments and suggestions.
I’m making today, May 22, 2022 for Sunday dinner.👏
That's awesome. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks!
Somebody needs to put you on a tv show....Rachel Ray don't do anything to my soul!!YOU on the other hand,makes me hungry and drool all over myself!! lol
Thanks so much for the compliments I really appreciate it! :)
Hi Charlie I always watch your channel your food looks amazing your gravy looks a lot like mine I always add a chicken broth or beef broth instead of water to my gravy..it gives it a lot more flavor
Hello there! The chicken makes it's own broth when cooked. Nice idea on your part. Thanks for sharing!
I love the entire menu...except for the canned peas. i grew up eating canned peas.....but i prefer frozen peas.....i 've made frozen peas, the way you did the canned variety..and they work
Thanks Judith. Yes Canned Peas works for me. Frozen peas ive tried them, yes they are good but they are mainly meant to be seasoned. Canned peas are kind of sweet and I like the flavor better when I cook them and I use no salt.
Making this for my birthday dinner tonight. 😊😋
Awesome! Let me know how it tyrns out. Thanks and Happy Birthday to you! 🙂
Wow!! that looks easy.. I'm from New Orleans myself and I remember eating this dish alot. Thanks Charlie! You Rock!!!
