When I think of New Year’s Day, I think of gumbo, champagne, and football!! My family and friends always look forward to that huge stockpot of seafood, sausage, chicken, and other deliciousness……Mmmmm……
In a huge stockpot, add washed and seasoned (with house blend) chicken wings and add enough water to just cover the chicken. Boil the chicken wings to create a broth. Add all of the seasonings to taste.
While chicken wings are boiling, saute the vegetables (celery, onion, and bell peppers) in a saucepan for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add okra and cook until tender enough to chew. If there isn’t enough room in the pot to stir in the okra, take out a few crab legs. When okra is done, add the chicken wings back to the pot and any crab legs that were removed in order to make room. Simmer until the chicken wings are warmed.
