J. Gumbo's Corydon

I will be in Corydon for the evening tomorrow and wanted to have an early dinner. I was thinking of trying out J Gumbos. I have been scanning the menu but cant decide what to try. I do not mind spice.... at all. i do not like the flavor of bourbon chicken..... just an idea of my tastes.

i was thinking of the drunken or voodoo..... and the red hot but it is my last choice, only because my mind just thinks it is chicken and buffalo sauce. I am not saying thats what it is, but probably not what i want to try at the moment.

any suggestions?

also..... the bowls look huge.... what is the rice to protein ratio? asking because i am diabetic and though i love rice, i try not to do more rice than protein.

Drunken and Voodoo are my favorites. I get the rice and meat seperate, so I can mix to my liking.

Voodoo Chicken Po'boy with the Cajun Crawtators chips is always a good choice.

I never get the bowls, so no clue on the rice content. The bread is better for soaking up all the voodoo goodness.

The first time I had the voodoo chicken I was smitten. It was delicious and gloriously spicy, but in the years that have passed either my taste buds are dying off or the dish just isn't as spicy as it used to be.

I still eat the voodoo chicken all the time, but J Gumbo's, please [Hedley Lamarr]go do that voodoo that you do... so well![\Hedley Lamarr]

Becky,

The Chicken Red Hot IS a buffalo wing inspired dish, but it is much saucier than your traditional hot wing. Basically, we take butter and brown some garlic, then we add the chicken and slow cook it down until it begins to shred. Next we add the red onion and celery and a lot of crushed red pepper. Once those cook down, we add a vinegar based hot sauce and reduce. The result is a saucy chicken stew with a lot of kick, most of it up front with vinegary tartness, but the crushed red pepper allows the heat to linger a bit longer.
We also serve it with bleu cheese crumbles to help provide some contrast and balance.

You can get it over white rice, on a Po' Boy or it makes an incredible nachos! It has been a pretty big hit!

I find the Bourbon Street Chicken is much improved with the addition of a few jalapenos!

Our standard portion is 10oz. of white rice with 8oz. of sauce (or stew) served over it. The rice ratio is a bit higher because we pack a lot of flavor in the raw sauce (or stew) and we want it to balance out.

Please let me know how you found our store in Corydon. Those folks are working very hard and are dedicated to getting it right. I would love to know how we did (you can PM me also!).



David,

The Voodoo Chicken recipe hasn't changed since the first day we created it. However, it is not uncommon to get the occasional bowl that is either spicier or less spicy than the norm. We still cannot figure that one out, but it must have something to do with the amount of stirring during the time when the spices are added to the stew. Feel free to make with the hot sauce, if you find a bowl that isn't giving you the right heat.

Feel free to make with the hot sauce

Can do!

Drunken Chicken is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth.
