10 - 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Flour to coat chicken
Tony's Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup flour
2 sweet onions
2 green bell peppers
4 stalks celery
6 - 8 cloves garlic
2 - 3 Green Onions
6 - 8 cups chicken broth
1 - 1 1/2 lb Andouille sausage sliced
2 Tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
1 or 2 bay leaves
Cooked Rice
File'
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Season your chicken thighs to taste with Tony's seasonings. Heat pan with a little vegetable oil and brown your chicken thighs, few at a time, a couple minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and then put onto baking pan and cook 15-20 min on each side until done or almost done.
While chicken cooking, make roux as follows:
Make Roux (I make mine in microwave as follows):
In 8 cup glass measure, mix oil & flour with whisk. Microwave in 2 minute intervals 3 times, stirring with whisk after each interval. Then 1 minute at a time until it gets to peanut butter color. Then 30 seconds at a time until it gets a darker brown - almost to a light chocolate color. Then add the Onions, Celery, Bell Pepper, Garlic and half of Green Onions to roux. Stir and Microwave another 5 minutes.
Pour roux into a large pot. Slowly add 6 cups of chicken broth by first putting it into the measure used to cook roux to rise all of it out. Let simmer stirring occasionally until it thickens, about half an hour. When chicken cooled, cut up into bite sized pieces. In the pan used to brown chicken, pour out excess grease but leave just a little of the flour/chicken grease mixture. Throw in your sliced Andouille Sausage to that pot and brown (about 5 minutes). While browning sausage, add bay leaf in the gumbo pot and the Old Bay Seasoning. Add the chicken to gumbo pot. Once the sausage is browned, throw it in the pot too and stir it all together. Stir every now and then so it won't stick to bottom and burn. If it gets too thick as your water simmers out, add some chicken broth to keep your desired consistency. Simmer for about an hour, taste after a while and toss in some more seasonings if needed. Add rest of green onions about 5 minutes before done. Serve over cooked rice and add file' as desired to each serving. Enjoy!
Extra Notes:
* To make roux on stovetop instead:
In a large cast iron skillet or stovetop pan, heat the oil and add flour, stir constantly over medium high heat until you get almost light chocolate colored roux. Pour in your chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic and half of green onions. Let sauté for about 5 minutes.
* Later after refrigerating gumbo. If too thick after you heat it back up you can add more chicken broth.
* Can also add chopped parsley with the green onions towards the end if desired.
