You probably won't see this, although my family makes some good smothered chicken. Im a California dude, although my mom and grandmother in her side are from new Orleans. It's interesting that I didn't realize that what my grandma cooked was considered Cajun food until I was an adult. Also, you might want to try this with some pork chops, with some extra dried sage thrown in, over rice. Totally awesome meal, I think you'd love it! And if you spice it up with jalapenos, I recommend adding a bell pepper also, it has a different flavor to it. Although either way it will be good 👍🏿
Looks delicious; gotta add this to my "make" list. I've made your zhug sauce and chicken Vindaloo, both were delicious. I have your hot sauces saved that I wanna make too, especially the Hawaiian chili pepper water 🤤
Thanks, Alexandra! I appreciate the comments. I hope you enjoy the hot sauces. Great stuff! I finally got to try some Hawaiian chili pepper water in Hawaii recently. Great stuff! I think you will enjoy it. Best to you!
I’m from New Orleans, born and raised and I grew up my whole life eating this stuff. I think you did a great job. But I do have a local tip. You see all that grease that is floating at the top of the surface? You got to skim that off before you serve it. It’s the same with a gumbo or other dish we have where the oil floats to the top from using a roux. Other than that, pretty good. Oh, and you had the pronunciation almost…it’s pronounced here as freak-ah-say. Bonne chance!
Thanks for the tips, Tito! I've visited New Orleans so many times, have taken cooking classes there and talked to many locals and cooks, and I always learn something. Always appreciated.
@@ChiliPepperMadness Of course! Did you learn how to cook any of our other dishes? We have so many. I have lots of tips on various dishes if you have. And I’d like to know what was your favorite dish you had here?

Thanks so much. Yes, I actually LOVE this with pork chops, and have a recipe for this in my cookbook, "The Spicy Food Lovers' Cookbook".
I appreciate the effort you went to here mike - thanks dude. Will add to do list.
Thanks! I do hope you enjoy it.
Nice looking recipe. Went to college in Louisiana and would love it when the campus restaurant served this. Looking forward to making your version.
Hope you enjoy!!!
I won't make it that hot, but I will make it !! Thanks
I hope you enjoy it! It definitely is easy to adjust the heat to your own preferences.

Gumbo is by far my favorite. Love it.

I think for me it's either a good Chicken and Sausage gumbo, or Gumbo Z'herbes. I LOVE a good green gumbo! But I'll take it any way I can get it. =)
Just use your hands man! It's all good and we all do it in our own homes. Wash your hands after!
You forgot the potatoes still looks great though
Go for it! Potatoes are great here.
