Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Roux
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add equal parts flour and oil (about 1/2 cup each) to make a roux. Stir continuously for about 20-30 minutes until it turns a deep brown color.
Add the Meats
Add the sliced Andouille sausage and chicken thighs to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is browned.
Add Liquids and Spices
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Add the bay leaves, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add Okra
Stir in the sliced okra and simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
Serve
Remove bay leaves before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley. Serve hot over rice if desired.
