Sounds great, everything is better with Tony's! 5!


This is a very interesting recipe. I've never heard of cooking chicken like this with the sugar and the small about of oil in the pan. Does this actually sweeten the chicken? It sure sounds good! I'll have to try your recipe. Thanks for posting it here!


Annieamie,
This is how my old Cajun Maw Maw use to make it. The sugar does not sweeten the recipe. It's a savory gravy.


I love Cajun/Creole cooking, and I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy at heart. Keep these coming and I'll be a very happy camper.


Yum, yum, looks delicious, there is nothing like down home good-for-the-soul food! "5" forks from me! Thank you for sharing your recipe.


Great recipe! Thanks :)


Yum is right! Whats not to like about this... High 5 I love your method and the fact that you season the chicken and let it set... Key move for good flavor...;-)~
