CHICKEN SAUCE PIQUANTE 4-5 lbs of Thighs, Legs & Wings Garlic Salt & Pepper (to season chicken) 1 Yellow Onion 1 Green Bell Pepper 2 Sticks of Celery 4 Cloves of Garlic 1 Stick of Butter 2/3 Cup Vegetable Oil 1 Cup All Purpose Flour 1 (6 oz) Can of Tomato Paste 1 (14.5 oz) Can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes 1 (10 oz) Can of Rotel (Mild for Less Spice) 1 (32oz) Container Chicken Stock 2 (15 oz) Cans of Tomato Sauce 2 Cups of Water 2 Tablespoons of Sugar 1 Tablespoon of Parsley Flakes 1 Tablespoon of Cajun or Creole Seasoning Rice to serve with Start out by heating a large pot over Medium/Low heat and a large pan over Medium heat. Chop the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Set aside in the fridge. If you have fresh parsley, chop that and set aside as well. Prep the chicken by seasoning with generous portions of garlic salt and black pepper. Next dust the chicken with a coat of flour. Shake off excess flour. In your large pan, add the stick of butter. One the butter is completely melted, drop in the chicken one at a time. Sear the chicken 6-8 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken as you see both sides brown up nicely. While the chicken is searing, you want to get started on the roux. To your large pot, add the 2/3 cup of oil, and 1 cup all purpose flour. Begin stirring immediately. Consistently stir off and on until you reach a brown caramel-like color. During this process, make sure you keep an eye on the chicken. Try to mange time between pot and pan evenly, to prevent anything from burning. When all pieces of chicken have browned up evenly, move the chicken to a bowl, and add the chopped vegetables into the large pan. Stir the vegetables around the pan so that you get up any remaining drippings that were leftover from the chicken. Meanwhile, continue to take time to stir the roux. After about 10 minuets of sautéing the vegetables, add the tomato paste. Sauté for another 10 minuets. Next add the rotel and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the fire roasted diced tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes. If the roux still hasn’t reached a caramel color, cover the pan of vegetables, lower to a simmering heat, and just come back to it every so often as you continue to cook the roux. Once the roux reaches a caramel color, slowly add in a small amount of the chicken stock. Stir until you reach a creamy mixture. Add the rest of the chicken stock to the tomato mixture. Pour the tomato mixture in with the roux, and blend evenly. Add the tomato sauce, two cups of water, sugar, cajun seasoning, and chopped parsley to the pot. Mix well Add the chicken to the pot, and push each piece down into the sauce. Pour in any remaining juices from the bowl the chicken was in. Raise the heat so that you bring the pot to a slight boil, cover, and let simmer for 2 hours. Come back and stir the bottom every 15 minutes. Cook some rice, and enjoy!

Thank you, Cajun Ninja, I hadn't drooled enough today. I think I've hit my quota now. Totally making this!! OMG!!!

I haven't made sauce piquant in years! TY for reminding me how good it is!

This is my next project. Boy this man done tought me how to cook up some good stuff. Hats off to you man.

Thank you so much for taking the time to show the recipe... I too have all those pans in red

WOW, made this today, thanks Ninj , following and cooking your recipes has turned me from being the family black sheep to the guy all my family wants me to cook for there party's, thank you sir

I made this for my family tonight and it was a huge hit. Thanks for sharing all of your recipes. I'll definitely be making this again!!

I've watched at least 30 of your videos, CN, and this one is my favorite! The sound effects, the attitude, and of course your precious little daughter making her cameo! I bet you're a really fun Dad and you're one heck of a cook. Then there's the dish you made....WOW! It's not often I'm inspired in the moment to make something immediately, but tonight at my house we're having Chicken Sauce Piquant!

That looks so amazing! I could totally go for that.

Bro I think this might be the best sauce piquant recipe on youtube. Which means it might be the best recipe period. I'm serious. I absolutely love the way it looks. The perfect color. Some recipes look too much like spaghetti sauce. Like they just popped a bottle of Ragu. This looks perfectly delicious. And thank you so much for the way you lay out the recipe and directions in detail. Every ingredient that can be found almost anywhere.

Delicious looking dish. I’ve been looking for a good chicken sauce piquant recipe! Thanks!

Just made this and it’s absolutely beautiful man thanks for sharing ! This will be on my dinner menu for a long time to come 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Made this last night....family loved it.... Much love from down the road(BR)

Went and got my ingredients yesterday. So ready to cook this on Sunday

Being in the military (many many moons ago) many people were surprised that most of the guys from South Louisiana knew how to cook and even more surprised at how good they were. Shared a house off base with 3 other guys and never had to buy groceries or do the dishes. I did all the cooking. Always a gathering place at our house and mainly because of the food.

I hollered when “ careless whisper” starting playing. Dayum 😂

I had to show this to my boyfriend bc this is his favorite dish. Definitely gotta give it a try. Not sure who's gonna make it bc we both love to cook. Your wife and I surely are blessed to have men like y'all... fine, funny, and can cook lol.

Can’t wait to try this one out!

Made this today and my family loves it!

I had to try this because it reminded me of a goat sauce piquant I had at a little diner down in Irish Bayou back in the mid 70's. The place had a deck that stuck out into the bayou and I don't think I ever even knew its name. So good....

I'm a Bama grad and enjoy the annual game trip with my LSU friends. Keep up the great work.

Chicken sauce piquant is on my list as one of the top 10 stewed chicken dishes in the world. #1 is Doro Wat the Ethiopian dish. The Philippine dish Chicken Adobo is on that list but this dish certainly belongs. The chicken flavors the sauce the longer it cooks and the sauce flavors the chicken. In the end you have a dish that is perfect on rice! It just works and this dish with the tomatoes and spice is near perfect. Thank you.

Great. Thank you. Some of us might live in areas where Creole seasoning is not available (me for example lives in S. Africa). Trust there is a site which has the spice mixture needed for Creole seasoning. Other that than when I sooked this in the USA, I had the chicken off the bone. Easy to remove. Just one extra step. Thank you again.

Wow! Soooo good! Followed recipe exactly but added a little hot sauce for some zing. My freezer is now full of corn soup, beef and vegetable soup, seafood gumbo with okra and chicken and sausage gumbo. Not bad for a Boston Yankee, eh?

Some people may notice this dish has some similarity to an Italian dish Chicken Cacciatore. I have cooked and enjoyed both dishes many times but Sauce Piquant is a far more flavorful dish to me. I also prefer it over rice vs Cacciatore which is served over pasta. I guess it is what you are in the mood for but the spicy flavor of this is at another level.

Donovan Billings wow that’s friggen awesome man! To get grandma approval is a heck of a compliment! So bravo to you man!!

A couple of variants depending if you are Creole or Cajun would be some Worcestershire sauce to add complexity to the flavor. Justin Wilson loved using that. Possibly putting some jalapenos with your vegetables. Lots of flavor, cheap and not real hot if you remove the seeds. I use "Slap yo mama" white pepper as my go to seasoning for almost everything. White pepper adds a little something different to these dishes. Paul Prudhomme used white pepper a lot and the Slap yo mama seasoning is excellent.

Cajuns are actually white creoles (and usually are a mixture of different French groups with minor non-French admixture like Spanish and German besides just being Acadians) and the food Cajuns eat are a mixture of influences from all the people that settled south Louisiana rather than Acadians and is the same foods that non-Cajuns in south Louisiana eat. When people say Cajun vs Creole in cooking, they’re really trying to say Acadiana area vs. New Orleans area and they wrongly say “Cajun vs. Creole” because the group called Cajuns, a large amount don’t identity as Creoles anymore like before the invent of the Cajun identity, but want to be represented in the cuisine and culture. So it would be a more accurate representation to say Acadiana vs Greater New Orleans rather than Cajun vs Creole when speaking of the south Louisiana cooking styles. Bonne chance!

I had been wanting it since having a friend's many years ago. His was not tomato based, but was incredibly delicious... so delicious that it made a lasting impression on me.

Cajun food has a lot of influence from Mexican/South american native foods. The main difference in this dish is the use of gravy but other than that you could serve this in any of those countries and it would be familiar to them.
