• Add enough oil to the sausage drippings to make 1/2 cup. Add the flour to the fat and cook over medium heat, stirring slowly and continuously and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the mixture has thickened somewhat and turned chocolate-colored, 25 to 30 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers and fennel and cook until soft, about 10 minutes.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
• slice sausage into thin rounds (we like to cut it thin, gives the illusion of more sausage).
• put sausage into large pot and begin to brown on med-high heat to render the juices from the sausage, cook about 10 minutes.
• add chicken and 2 diced onions and continue to brown for about 15 minutes. You really don't have to get it really brown, just get the pink out of the chicken.
• while its cooking, add quite a lot of Tony's, I'd have to say about 2-3 tablespoons.
• Add water and bring to boil over med-high heat (takes awhile) when it starts to boil, add the whole jar of roux and continue cooking on a slow boil for at least an hour.
• Season with more Tony's until you get the flavor you want.
• When serving, add chopped green onions and serve over hot fluffy rice.
• We add file to our individual servings. Enjoy!

AUTHENTIC CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt, pepper and Creole seasoning and brown quickly. Brown the sausage, pour off fat and reserve meats.
• In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil and cook the flour in the oil over medium to high heat (depending on your roux-making skill), stirring constantly, until the roux reaches a dark reddish-brown color, almost the color of coffee or milk chocolate for a Cajun-style roux. If you want to save time, or prefer a more New Orleans-style roux, cook it to a medium, peanut-butter color, over lower heat if you're nervous about burning it.
• Add the vegetables and stir quickly. This cooks the vegetables and also stops the roux from cooking further. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes.

'MOMMA MADE EM' CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Fill a large pot partially with lightly salted water, and place the chicken in the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the chicken until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the broth, and crack open the carcass to allow the chicken to cool. Reserve the chicken broth. After the chicken has cooled enough to handle, pick the meat from the bones, and set aside.
• While the chicken is simmering, make a roux by whisking together the flour and vegetable oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir the mixture, watching constantly to avoid burning, until the roux is a rich chocolate brown color, 20 to 30 minutes.
• As soon as the roux has reached the desired color, stir in the onions, bell peppers, celery, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaves, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Pour in the reserved chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and beef sausage, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened, about 1 hour.
