Step by Step Chicken / Smoked Deer Sausage Gumbo From Louisiana

[Cajun Smokes]

I had a very old great aunt from Germany that used chicken fat in her breakfast cinnamon raisin rolls. Never underestimate the power of chicken fat lol

Lol never heard of chicken fat for deserts but can't be bad.

I make my roux with chicken fat, pork fat, and bacon fat....can't substitute the flavor it brings to a gravy with a dry roux....

Sure you can, you just stir it into a little lard or whatever fat you are cooking with. Basically, it's a time saver that has been used by home chefs and used in many high-end restaurants for decades.
If it's good enough for Paul Prudhomme, it's good enough for me.
