Cooking

• Oil up the chicken, salt, pepper, throw it in a pan, throw that shit in the oven.

• This roux process is not for pussies, it is done very hot and very fast.
• Do not stop stirring until the roux has turned milk chocolate color. It should have a wet sand texture.
• Throw in the celery, peppers, onions, bay leaves, stir for one min.

• Turn the heat down to simmer.
• Pour in the chicken stock, as you pour you stir fast and hard. Motorboating the roux, if you will.
• Throw in the andouille.
• Turn the oven off, remove the chicken.
• Chop up the chicken, throw it in the dutch oven
• Add black pepper. Add more. Then add more. You need a fuck ton of black pepper. When you think it's way too much, it's not. Don't be a pussy, add more.
