Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large heavy pot, preheat the oil to medium/high heat for a few minutes. Whisk flour into hot oil, reduce heat and continue whisking often until the roux turns a deep brown, about 15 minutes. Season the chicken with the Creole or Cajun spices and set aside. When the roux is ready, add the onions and stir with a wooden spoon, cook for another 10 minutes.

2. Add chicken pieces to the roux and cook for the next 6 to 8 minutes, turning as needed. Add the smoked sausage and cook for a minute. Add the celery, poblano, tomato, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 45 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, add the 2 tablespoons of flour, add the 4 tablespoons of cold water and whisk until smooth, to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the gumbo and stir well to combine. Add in the Spanish chorizo or andouille sausage, chayote, and W sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Cook for another 20 minutes. Remove bay leaves and thyme and serve over rice. Yields up to 8 servings.
