For a richer flavor, consider browning the meat in bacon fat instead of olive oil. Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your preference for smokiness and sweetness. If you don't have fresh okra, frozen okra works perfectly well in this recipe. Bone-in chicken adds more flavor to the stew; you can shred the chicken meat and return it to the pot before serving. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors meld together.
