Instructions

  1. 1 Peel back chicken drumstick and breast skin without removing it all the way; make several deep cuts in the meat. Sprinkle 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning into the cuts and onto the meat, then replace the skin. Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil and white wine together in a large bowl. Add chicken, spoon marinade over top, then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. 2 Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken, working in batches if necessary, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a large soup pot and pour broth over top. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. 3 While the chicken is simmering, cook onion, bell pepper, and celery in a skillet with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is transparent and pepper has softened, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. 4 Mix flour and canola oil together in a nonstick pan to make a roux; stir until smooth and lump-free. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent burning. After about 5 minutes of stirring, the roux will begin to turn a pale golden color and gently bubble and foam. Stir roux until it turns the color of milk chocolate and gives off a nutty fragrance, 30 to 40 more minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Remove from the heat and stir until roux cools and stops cooking, about 5 more minutes.
  5. 5 Stir onion mixture and 1 cup boiling water into roux; be careful to avoid spattering. Heat over medium heat until mixture comes to a simmer. Whisk until roux and water combine and become thick, about 10 minutes. Add thickened roux to the chicken, stir together, and add remaining 9 cups boiling water. Season with remaining 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  6. 6 Sprinkle garlic powder and cayenne pepper over smoked sausage. Brown sausage in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer sausage to the soup and simmer for 30 more minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and take meat off bones; discard skin and bones. Return meat to the soup and simmer for 15 more minutes. Skim off the layer of oil that forms on the top.
  7. 7 While the gumbo is simmering, bring rice and 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

  1. 1 Combine chicken drumsticks, carrots, onions, celery, and broth in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn drumsticks over, cover, and cook for another 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Remove chicken and transfer to a plate. Allow to cool, wrap, and transfer into the refrigerator until needed.
  3. 3 Turn heat to medium-high and reduce cooking liquids in the saucepan to about 1/3 cup. Strain liquid into a mixing bowl, pressing some of the cooked vegetables through the sieve. Season gravy with black pepper, salt, thyme leaves, lemon zest, and cayenne; add creme fraiche and eggs and whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms.
  4. 4 Place bread in a shallow baking dish just large enough to fit the slices, and pour over the batter. Toss several times, wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour or until almost all the batter is absorbed.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with butter.
  6. 6 Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat and brown bread for a few minutes per side. Transfer bread onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. 7 Press one drumstick into the top of each slice of bread. Brush over any excess batter. Sprinkle with salt, dust with Parmesan cheese, and finish with a shake of cayenne.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
  9. 9 Mix together maple syrup, Sriracha hot sauce, and cayenne pepper in a little bowl ("dragon syrup").
  10. 10 Serve chicken leg toast drizzled with dragon syrup.
