Add oil to a cast iron enamel pot and sprinkle in flour and make a dark chocolate roux and put into a separate glass container
No need to wipe the pot so just add your sliced sausage to the pot and sear and remove
Now add the chicken thighs and sear both sides and remove
Add in all the veggies, sweat down until really soft
Add in the chicken, sausage, tbsp Cajun seasoning, chicken stock, 1 cup water, bay leaves and cover until the chicken is ready to be pulled, about 30 to 40 minutes (I remove them and pull them so I can get rid of any leftover fatty pieces) add the pulled chicken back to the pot
Whisk in your roux and simmer on low until it starts to thicken and taste for seasonings (if you need to add a little water to thin you can) add hot sauce to taste
