South Carolina Chicken Stew 

Sometimes you have to live it to know it !!! Thank you brother !

Thanks Dwayne we really enjoy our chicken stew when the weather cools off

Thanks Charley we freeze quarts of the stew for those cold nights after work and no one wants to cook !

Thanks Corey the partial drum makes a big difference !

Thanks Tammy that’s the only way I know to do it !

Thanks Steve I do use onions occasionally in my recipes but never in my chicken stew !

I’ve actually eaten at midway’s I come to Union to the DJJ facility now and then.

By the way I’m right down hwy 49 a little so howdy neighbor !

I'm from Spartanburg. Have hunting lease in Union as well as a few customers down there. Midway is a great place to eat for sure.

I took my wife from France to that place after I'd been there once and it is a tremendous barbecue joint with great chicken stew!

You can tell from them stringy bits of chicken hanging off of that spoon... He did it right!!! And they would

Welcome to SC hope you enjoy Hudson !!!

@@CuffNStuffBBQ Thank you, Jimmy!

Hope it works out for you my family loves it !

Thanks John we do freeze a good bit for those cold nights after work and we don’t want to cook !

There are so many family recipes in South Carolina I would love to gather them up somehow so they won’t disappear forever !

@@CuffNStuffBBQ I'm originally from Sumter SC. I grew up eating Red Chicken Stew, always served over a bed of rice.. Everybody seems to have their own version. I made my version tonight. I boil a ckicken for 30 minutes until it's falling off the bone with boullion cubes to season.. After removing the chicken from the broth, I add finely diced celery, onion and garlic to build flavor. I then add fresh ground black pepper, turmeric, tomato paste, a tiny bit of ketchup, hot sauce, fish sauce and good qualty soy sauce. Next I put the deboned chicken back in the broth. I thicken my stew with a roux using flour and avocado oil. My mother used to put chopped boiled eggs in her stew, but I prefer, if I want egg, to poach an egg and place it atop the stew on the bed of rice. My version takes no more than an hour to prepare and everybody wants my recipe.

Thanks so much I appreciate it !

Thanks Pop that big pot gets used to make all kinds of good stuff. Hope you have a great Sunday !

Great let me know how it turns out for you !

Thanks for checking it out !

Thanks Katina I appreciate it ! Let me know how it turns out for you.

@@CuffNStuffBBQ what size pot is that you have? I’ve got an 8 gallon

That’s a 15 gallon pot but I usually plan on 12 gallons when I use it.

Thanks for checking it out Steve I appreciate it !

Thanks Craig come on down I’ll save you a bowl !!!

It is definitely good stuff. Thanks for checking it out my friend.

Thanks Dash and you don’t burn the hair off your legs when you get close to the pot ?

@@CuffNStuffBBQ LOL...

Thank you my brother hope you make a T&T chicken stew I would love to learn how to make it !!!

Thanks Rod J hope you and the family are doing well !

I agree I gone to a low pressure and I like it a lot better ! Thanks for checking it out Jason.

It’s not too bad picking bones that ladle helps a lot. Thanks for checking it out papa!

@@CuffNStuffBBQ I'm thinking about making this, but with 1 chicken i think.

Thanks Lew I think sometime what we grow up on becomes the only way. This bbq journey has been such an eye opening experience for me !

@@CuffNStuffBBQ Well I’m making some of that Chicken Fricassée today. I should have video out sometime this week. I watched a lot of chicken stew videos this morning. You are right lots of styles. However, our Louisiana Cajun style (fricassée) like yours doesn’t have potatoes and carrots and other stuff in it either.

Thanks Dash same paddle and pot for the hash too !

Thanks Louis you sound like you might have been around some of these Carolina boys at some point. Also thanks for the inspiration on the cook shack !

SC has to be the place for chicken stew !

Brian, that is an Africa 15 gallon pot.

Thanks Dutchy yes I’ll be doing a video soon on the new cooking spot.

Thank you so much I have several some handed down from family some I’ve purchased. My pots right now range from 5 gal to 25 gallons. Have a close friend that has 2 - 80 gal pots we use to do fundraisers. Thanks for your question !

Cuff N Stuff BBQ Awesome! I’m from SC too and I think I’m gonna try this chicken stew and your hash! They both look amazing! Happy New Year!

Thanks Tim if I can be of any help please let me know !!!

My friend this is about 8 gallons of water in a 15 gallon pot. Thanks for the question !

I totally agree. We love what we grew up on. Thanks for checking it out.

The burner is in the middle of a stand that holds the pot.

@@CuffNStuffBBQ Thanks for responding. I just went to Louisiana last week and picked up a 10 gallon with the setup.

This is a 15 gal pot I’m using so it would be 60 quarts.

Make it your own you’ll love it !

Try bulls milk.

The milk adds a creamy consistency to the mix. It makes a big difference to the recipe you don’t wanna leave it out !

Sure !

Thanks for checking it out Gene. By the way I’ve had some of your good bbq ! 😄

I just realized who you are. LoL. We need to do some cooking!

What size is your pot?

@@smokinbutts2 this one is 15 gal.

I am looking for a stand with burner or something for my 20 gallon and I just bought a new 10 gallon one today with burner and stand from Agri Supply in Florence.

Pour it slowly as you stir you’ll never know it’s in there but it helps thicken the pot.

The other side of the lake !

I grew up in Newberry and love chicken stew but we cooked it a lot different than that.

I sure we all have different family recipes

I’m gonna try your style on my next cook.

It’s about 9 gallons

Thank you!

Thanks for stopping by Ken !

It just enriches the flavor. Thanks for checking it out !

Sounds good Jared maybe we can do something sometime !

Thanks for checking it out Peggy ! I would love to know how many different chicken stew recipes there are out there !

Nope not in mine !
