📝 Preparation Steps
1
Sear the meat
2
Set a wide pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a large drizzle of oil to the skillet. Sear the chicken and sausage coins in batches until some browning occurs on the surface of each piece. Use cooking oil as needed. The chicken doesn’t have to be cooked through, just seared on the outside. Set aside all seared chicken and sausage.

3
Make the roux & sauté the aromatics
4
Add the oil and flour to the pot over medium-high heat. Whisk the oil and flour constantly, stirring it until the mixture has reached at least a chocolate shade, around ⏱️ 10-15 minutes. Add the onion, bell peppers, and celery and mix into the roux. Continue sautéing on high heat for ⏱️ 7-10 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Add in the garlic, spices, a sprinkle of salt, lots of black pepper, bay leaves, and thyme. Stir until fragrant.

5
Simmer for ⏱️ 1-2 hours
6
Slowly add in the chicken broth, mixing to break up any lumps of roux. Add the chicken and sausage back in. The broth should cover everything by an inch or so (add more water or broth if necessary). Bring to a simmer, partially cover, and let cook for ⏱️ 1-2 hours. The chicken should be falling apart and the broth should be slightly thickened with no residual flour taste. Season to taste with salt and a dash of hot sauce for acidity.
