Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 pieces chicken thighs
  • 1 package sliced andouille sausage
  • 1 Cup Cooking oil
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1 large chopped onion
  • 1 medium-sized chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 ribs chopped celery
  • 3 Finely minced medium-sized garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • ¼ tbsp Cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tbsp Black pepper
  • ½ tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • ½ Cup green onions
  • ½ Cup chopped parsley
  • Gumbo filé package for serving

Method
 

  1. In a cast iron dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, lightly brown chicken thighs in a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
  2. In the same saucepan, sauté the sausage pieces until they are lightly browned on both sides.
  3. Add the garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Allow for an hour of gentle simmering.

Notes

  • To properly cook the chicken thighs check with a cooking thermometer so you can make sure the inner part of the chicken is cooked through. You can also use a fork to poke and check if they are done well. 
  • You can adjust the amount of salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning according to your taste and preferences. When you have been cooking dishes of many variations, the adjustment comes easier than most. So if you're a beginner, it is better to follow the recipe exactly. If you're an amateur or expert cook, you can trust your instincts to adjust the seasoning and not ruin the flavor combinations.
