For an even richer flavor, consider using a homemade chicken stock. When adding the crabmeat, handle it gently to avoid breaking it apart too much. The sherry can be omitted if preferred, but it adds a lovely complexity to the chowder. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a drizzle of cream before serving for an elegant presentation. Serve with crusty bread or oyster crackers for dipping.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt bacon grease and butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and parsley and sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
02
StepReduce heat to medium. Pour in the chicken stock and gently stir in the heavy cream, salt, seasoned salt, black pepper, chili powder, dill weed, sugar, and cayenne pepper. (2 minutes)
03
StepAdd the crabmeat and simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen, about 15 minutes. Be careful not to boil.
04
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water to form a smooth slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the chowder, stirring constantly until the chowder thickens slightly. (3 minutes)
05
StepStir in the dry sherry just before serving to brighten the flavors and add a touch of sophistication. (1 minute)
