DONT ADD MY FILE., SERVE IT ON DE TABLE WID TABASCO SAUCE. I USE HEAVEN ON EARTH CAJUN SEASONING. DIFFERENT STROKES FER DIFFERENT FOLKS
This is such a fantastic recipe! Super easy, and delicious. I served it at a Mardi Gras party this year – all my guests loved it. We did not serve it with the potato salad, just did a scoop of rice with Louisiana Hot Sauce. Will make again and again!
This looks really yummy. I have one stupid question. What’s creole mustard?
Thanks for asking! Creole mustard is basically a spicy brown mustard based on an old New Orleans recipe.
Candie…..If you can’t find a mustard that says “Creole” mustard, you can look for one that is a horseradish mustard. French’s has a horseradish mustard and it is very similar to creole mustard.
I like my roux really, really thin and dark and from the picture of the bowl it looks thick, otherwise, the recipe looks good. I also use rotisserie chicken regularly, except at Holidays, I use leftover turkey. I will try the recipe with some variations. I really like Louisiana Cooking Magazine and enjoy trying its recipes.
